Congrats on your harvest. Atleast you were seeing a couple deer. I haven't seen a deer yet during the muzzleloader season. There's a lot of sign but no daylight movement. Other people i've talked to said the same. They're very nocturnal right now.

Congrats. And spend as much time as you can with your dad. Cause when he is gone all you will have is the memories. There are certain stands I hunt just for the memories and sometimes I get the feeling he is still there with me. He never really liked hunting all that much but did it because it was something I enjoyed. Although he is gone 12 years now, the memories we shared are still engrained in my mind.
