Omigosh funky. Glad you got on the ground safely and have had your appendix dealt with. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Woodline, that's quite a buck to pass up. Good luck to you, and especially to your daughter.

Yesterday the deer were really active. From my ground blind, once daylight arrived, I counted no less than 30 whitetails and a dozen mule deer making their way up the hill to bedding areas. Nothing gave me an opportunity, however. All the bucks I saw, probably about 10, were small ones.

So at midday I took a swing through my favorite out-of-bounds neighborhood and found the 5-pt I mentioned awhile ago. Got several pictures of him.
