Congrats on the Sitka, its on my to-do list as well! I wonder if they count for this contest??
FSH - nice getting ruby out for some tracking, how's her training going?
I hunted friday morning then went out of town till today for my sister in-laws wedding. I saw a nice buck friday, but it was out of bow range and came straight downwind. I've never hunted the spot in the morning and I learned the hard way that the deer travel slightly different on their way back from feeding. I really hope I didn't educate him, he got to about 50 yrds then walked cross my wind and stopped dead and turn around... I'm gonna stay out of the area for a week or so and hope the encounter didn't spook him...
