Thanks, Bruce. They were nice enough to let me search through the weekend.....and that's going above and geyond what I expected. I have no choice but to let it go, now. I'll be a happier camper if he somehow shows up on trail cam, later. He looks a lot like my '07 buck, less a little mass.....so he won't be hard to spot.

You and all the rest of the guys here make me feel better about my effort....and you all drove the search, unknowingly. I wanted to find this one for all of us. I went back out today, a little shaoken, and I'll be back out there this afternoon (after some serious practice). I'm not ahsamed of the shot I took. I can live with that just fine. I'm also going to go over tomorrow and Wed. to their gate and see if I see buzzards anywhere.....then go from there, if they;ll let me (and I see them).

What an incredible spot this "was" though. I hope I haven't buggered it up for the rest of the season...and I wouldn't think I did. They don't know why I was in there or what I was doing. Hopefully it'll settle down after tomorrow's rain.
