I've had the pleasure to hunt in.
We had hoped to meet Phil Yearout for a hunt, but things did not work out for that -- hopefully next year. A belated Happy Birthday, Phil!
Our original plan was to stay an extra day after the season to be able to explore more of the area, but a pending storm caused us to head home early.
It's so hard to leave a season, not knowing how many more we might have. But we have our plans for the future. At the end of every season, I always think of the quotation from George Bird Evans' Song of Autumn,“There was a period in the seriousness of youth when I used to ponder which was the most impelling — anticipation, experience, or reminiscence. I now know that memory is all three.” I "bagged" many memories this past season.

Nice hunt.
How is the weather at home now ? We are still getting rain, but the temps are now near freezing. I do hope that we can avoid too much ice. We shall see.

Bruce, the forecast was for 6-10 inches, but there is not much more than an inch on the ground now. The wind is blowing 30+ mph and it's currently 13 degrees. We may miss out on the heavy snow. I sure hope so. South of us is getting hammered, and we drove through lots of precipitation on our way home from Kansas yesterday. I hope you miss out on the snow and, especially, the ice that seems to be hitting Southern Missouri.
Stay safe!
