Day 2 of 7: We’re back at the river blind one more time. We saw several pictures of nice deer harvested on opening deer at church. This is my first sit with my host. It’s a beautiful evening. Hopefully it will be interrupted by some deer.

It reached 80 today, a new record for this day. An interesting development from the stand-/due to the wonderful weather floating tubers are going down the river, and one group decided to camp on a sandbar about 500 yards from our blind. To say that their music is a little loud would be a slight...

Thank you for the well wishes. We didn’t see anything this morning, although some friends from our host’s church harvested a buck and a doe. We have an interesting phenomenon in that with the exceptionally warm weather, there are tubers on the river. One group has camped about a quarter mile...

Never hit one with a car or truck...one brushed me on a motorcycle once and that was way too close. Deer hair was on the highway bar pegs.

He is sore, but didn't go to the hospital. His face is messed up from the airbag, but he said it would have been much worse without the seatbelt and airbag and it was a jarring hit. You don't expect 2.5 yo 8 pointers in 75mph urban city traffic.

My son-in-law experienced the rut the wrong way this morning in Kansas City on the way to work...

The lawnmower plot is still looking good and is visited by deer and other critters day and night

I keep the cabin at 45 and have a cell monitor for temp.pump house is insulated with heat lamps.

That's the mixed bag of cell cameras...I'm tagged out until November 15th, and all of the nice bucks are cruising by in daylight :-) More importantly, I pray your recovery goes well and you can enjoy being back in the woods soon.

Congratulations. What fun and great food for the family. That’s a great looking buck!!
