bearlr,

It is always nice to hear from someone who is honest. I have hunted with people who exaggerated and outright lied about what they saw/did. There's nothing worse than not being able to rely on information from a habitual liar. Congratulations on seeing your first deer. But even when you didn't, you did better than me. I haven't been out at all yet. Two toddlers and a wife on seemingly perpetual PMS is as effective in keeping me from hunting as a ball and chain!
