Sorry to hear about your Brother-in-law Zmax. I am also already looking forward to next year. I've been scouting a little bit to see what all survived the rifle hunters and trying to figure out some new areas for next year.
And that chocolate lab would steal my heart if I ever got to hold him. I had one that made it to age 13 before he passed away. He was pretty much like my best friend growing up.
It sounds like either way the season goes, you all will have some great deer next year. I know Zmax said he had some nice ones he passed up and if some of Siman's deer make it to next year, he may have to take a panoramic picture to fit their dang racks in the photo.
Good luck to all of you, and enjoy the rest of the season.
I'll be thinking of you all while your sitting in your stands in the high teens, low 20 degree temps.
