Hey, thanks for the concern. Glad I was missed :p . Sorry for my late posting. We got back late Sun night, then I had to travel to Aberdeen for a class, which I just came home from, in time to return to work tomorrow.

Scouting was a little disappointing. Very dry conditions and a burn ban in effect. All the water holes were either dry or close to it, but the ones with water had lots of sign around them. Very few deer sightings, and only 2 had horns, one mule spike, and another mule that was branched, but didnt stand still long enough to count points. Couldnt believe how few grouse there were. All the years previous we would step on them w/o trying, and the only ones we saw on this trip were on the drive out of the woods. Hopefully they will get some rain over there before the season opens, they need it. That tent will be mighty cold without a stove burnin.

Anyone heard anything else about the North Central area?
