Oh boy. Got to the airport at 4:15am for my 7:10 flight and saw the line. The line for oversized bags/guns is the same line they sent everyone with cancelled flights to rebook. It was insane, I called my wife to pick up the gun. TSA wait was nonexistent. After a flight delay I’m on my way to the great country of Texas.

No service out in the bush. This is from yesterday.
Got a buck at the last possible second. Came in with 5 min of light left. Thought he was a forkie, it was dark, all I saw was forkies all day. Mostly small but one or two forkies that were taller and wider than this buck. I said if I see 3 points on one side(not counting brow tines)I’ll shoot. Binoculars and gun scope sucked(I flew southwest, couldn’t get gun through and had to use a loaner) I couldn’t tell how many points and it was getting dark, running out of time. 29 minutes after sunset I did a “meehp” at him to get his head up and saw 3 points on one side and let it rip. Thought he was a 3x2+ tines. No blood trail. thought I missed him. Found him dead with double lung 40 yards away in the dark.
The folks out here count points weird. But I call it an eleven. If I was hunting here next year I’d have let him grow to see the real tank he’d become

Oh I’m not, I’m pumped. It’s my second buck, much bigger than my first.
