(outside of Norman, there you go Danny just so you jump all over me for that.)
Who me???? LOL

I' d never jump on ya for that. But remember, they were the #1 passing defense in the country when we came to town. Okay, enough rubbing it in.
Sorry to hear about your deer, but it does happen. Sounds like you did everything you could to find it, so I wouldn' t dwell on it. That spot above the lungs and below the spine has ruined more hunts than anything I know. Too bad God didn' t put something important in that spot.
Good luck on the pheasant hunt!!! Where do you go in Texas??? My fiance has relatives in South Dakota and I' m going to plan on going up there next year for sure.
Take care and good hunting the rest of the season.
