Ok goobers I will try to post links to pics and you tech guys can fix it. I will try to post updates since jdbowhunter has started a theme with his Ohio hunt. We are long time friends and talk a lot of hunting and share in each other's success. I will only say we're on a DIY Mule deer or whitetail hunt on public land in South Dakota. We got 1 tag each. I won't reveal much more because I gave my word so don't ask. We sat 4 hrs on I-70 and they literally closed it less then 1/4 mile and 5 min before we arrived. 20 more miles on the other side of Columbus MO and we're good. We didn't make it into camp. Due to storm coming in we left early and was in the truck over 24hrs but we have a hotel room 4hrs from camp. I haven't slept since Wednesday 4:30am. I'm about to crash and we're going to set up camp tomorrow. Worst winter storm we ever drove thru. This pic was when the sun came up just before they opened the interstate and we had drove through worse near St. Louis. http://a64.tinypic.com/106bon6.jpg

Good luck and be safe, because there’s a lot of stuff that can go wrong being that far out in the wild away from any civilization and without cell service.
It is hard to kill or catch anything sitting on the couch!

Worst thing of all was I had a terrible case of cramps and straight swamp azz! I've never seen my buddy laugh as hard as when I got out in the middle of the interstate and left a ink mark that would have made the oceans largest octopus proud. I'm talking killer black ice while stuck in a snow storm surrounded by truck drivers. I was the laughing stock of every big rig in Missouri. We could hear the CB chatter "break 19 is that old boy in front of that snow covered truck taking a sh......?????" LOL

We got about 3" of snow and it's been going all day. It's cold boys and still snowing. We made it into camp but very lil service. This guy has some giants on the wall. Only saw 3 mule deer after the snow started but no shooters. We some some really nice whitetails coming in. I found a big rub where we saw the 3. Hopefully tomorrow the weather lets up so we can get around better.

Got my buddy on his 1st ever mule deer today. We saw deer by the dozens all day long. We let a huge whitetail walk that was bedded with a doe. I really debated on putting the stalk on him. Temp was 12mph with 10mph winds with light snow and winds got higher so we had to move fast. I Saw another whitetail giant running a doe. Most deer I e ever seen in a day the rut is wide open, it's incredible.

The boys flat did some killing today! I was behind the gun and had several good stalks. Had to pass a big heavy and wide Mulie because it was a 7pt. Snuck in about a mile, perfect stalk with wind and terrain to get within 100yrds. Had a chance on another really good Mulie but he jumped the fence to private land. It was hard watching him and to do the right thing and not shoot. A couple more whitetail today tempted me. I'm the only one left with a tag and I got sore places I didn't know I had. Gonna get back after them tomorrow, I got 3 days tontag and as many as we're seeing I feel confident. I will try to get the links to the pics up if y'all can keep fixing them.

If anyone wanted to bet a 100 I wouldn't tag in 3 days I would have said I'll take that $. It's got comical at this point and my partner can no longer keep up walking. I've went miles in to get a perfect stalk and had other hunters spook them, have seen great ones on private and couldn't shoot, have passed more good white tails than I've ever seen. Last full day is tomorrow so my standards are low and my give a damn has about broke. I didn't know I was capable of walking this much this many days in a row. Beautiful country and we're having a blast but it's heartache going in on these stalks not getting one. Maybe tomorrow, maybe my redneck won't come out, wish me luck boys so I don't come home with tag soup
