Thanks for the picture comments, icy trees make for great picures, but horrid hunting. The deer take in our area opening week of gun season was way down as a result, more good news for us as the little bucks were able to "hide" during the opening day onslaught pretty well.

Another pic from opening morning.

You can see how hard it would have been to see, or sneak up on a deer.

Last night (3rd to last day of gun season) I passed up a dandy buck, that would have been outside his ears in width, had his right antler been there. Could be he shed it already (early-but not impossible around here), or since one of the other points was broken off, could have had his but kicked by a bigger buck yet. I hope he makes it till next season. He was in a thicket - heading to the corn.
