Glad to see you're back, Doug. Things were so-so around our area this year. Saw plenty of turkey right up until season, then they shifted a bit due to feed, I suppose. Really didn't get to hunt as much as I wished, either. Bear season was about average for us, with the exception that nobody saw one this year. I hunted from camp due to the fact that I saw several nice bear from camp this year, several times. Others were seeing them also. Most of the other guys hunted the tornado area off Shaggers Inn Rd., between Medix and Little Medix Run. That area is getting well into the pole stage, and doesn't seem to hold the attraction for bear it once did. Same with the area near Parker Dam. I hunted it briefley during the Oct. muzzleloader, saw some nice big does there, but never pulled the trigger. Regular deer season found two of us at camp. I killed a nice DMAP doe the first morning early, and my buddy passes on several young antlerless due to their size. Lots of shooting. Our neighboring camp got two nice buck--a decent 6 pt., and a beautiful 8 pt. with high tines and I would estimate around a 19" spread. Real nice deer.
Glad you had a good year, and glad to know you're back.
