Congrats Kelleno and man those are neat pictures.
Congrats on your does WV.
Yeah, I can't believe this turned out the way it did. I did go out there with a canoe and tried poking at the bottom and at some logjams in hopes I'd feel a deer body down in the depths. The water is 8-10 ft deep and the under current is very strong. Much stronger than I would have thought. We struggled to keep the canoe in any on place for more than a few seconds. It would have been bad if we had fallen out.
It's raining again today so the river won't be going back down or clearing up anytime soon. If/when it drops down again I'll make another attempt to go out and search it again. The river is bordered by private property so I can't just walk the banks.
I'm majorly bummed......
Oh and we found another hunter's dead buck when we went to trail my buck. It was a nice buck too. We told the guys who hunt the neighboring property about it and the guy who shot it (as best we can tell) came over and tagged it.
It would look better if my tag were on it.
(legally, I could have claimed it... but that would be silly)
