Email sent out at Oregon State University. Good info. From the eminent pathologist Dr James Robb: Date: February 26, 2020 Subject: What I am doing for the upcoming COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. Dear Colleagues, as some of you may recall, when I was a professor of pathology at the...

yeah I kept missing deer...

Drew a spring bear tag for April 1 - May 31 and turkey is April 15 - May 31. I also got Tuesdays and Thursdays without class so should get in some action!

So if Iran has 54 dead and 175 recovered, wouldn’t that give a death rate of 54/(175+54) = 23.6% ? And for Italy 29/(29+46) = 38.7% ? Maybe they’re just dropping the death rate because there’s people surviving that never get hospitalized or tested? I would think you wouldn’t count current...

Not when you step on it [emoji23]

I wasn’t looking for sheds but stumbled upon my first blacktail shed in the Oregon jungle.

We always had one two person canoe and one kayak when we were kids, that way one kid could take a break when tired. Can’t really go wrong if sticking to slower water. Canoe is handier for deer hunting.

I think that last sentence needs a side by side picture ;) ... or a few pictures

11 arrows fired, 1 elk and 2 deer killed. Working towards a higher efficacy rate next season. Happy with my hunting abilities but I left a lot to be desired with the killing part. Sorry I took so long to write things down. Life’s keepin me real busy.

Day 7, 5th day of season, our last day: I forgot to mention that the night before we’d seen a huge buck at last light on the steep hillside across the valley to our southeast. He had four does with him. Pictures didn’t work do you low light. We decided to go look into the basin to our...

Day 6, 4th day of season: We went through the same motions as the previous morning and got there slightly earlier. We started out at the same glassing point. Mitchell set up to look where we’d seen deer the day before, I hiked back a bit to look directly beneath us for closer deer. Almost...

Those spiky things are no joke. Walked outside this morning and my tire is flat again from a slow leak from down there.

Day 5, 3rd day of season: We woke up two hours before dawn, threw down some oatmeal and caffeine and began the hike in. We brought our full pack frames but left our camping stuff at the trucks in case we were unable to locate deer. The two miles in was far more challenging than we...

Day 4, Second day of season: We woke up before light and cooked oatmeal in our tents, getting dressed and up on the knob just as it got light enough for binoculars. We looked around the basin to our north and realized the trees were fairly thick, not ideal for glassing or stalking. We...

Day 3, opening day: We got up before first light to glass. There were deer tracks all over the knob so we had high hopes. We set up to look at the south facing slope to our north. I left Mitchell there with his binos and spotting scope and went off to look in various different directions to...

Friggin stud. Kinda nice to force you to see what he looks like next year hopefully [emoji23]

Day 1: We drove through the night and arrived in AZ around 6 am. We parked at Walmart and slept for an hour before walking in and stocking up on nuts, fruit, jerky and water. We headed over to the game and fish office and grabbed out tags, then headed towards the area we’d picked out in...

No I think I’ll be looking for a new one :/ Driving towards Arizona right now

Got a bit busy and didn’t keep up on hunt notes. Flying back to Portland with 50 pounds of venison and driving down to AZ in the morning. Had a few close calls and a clean miss on a doe in the last few days in Georgia. That makes six missed opportunities on deer this year. I think I’ll be...

Thanks, I’ll try that!
