Well, I survived my weekend, but was skunked. Saw two does the night before opening day, and never saw anything bigger than a roadrunner the rest of the weekend.

Disappointing, to say the least--not just that I didn't shoot a deer, but that I didn't even *see* any.

I still had a good time, and learned a lot. One of the other guys shot a spike buck, the only deer any of four hunters saw all weekend.

I'd like to go again soon, but rounding up the money will take some doing.
