    man what did you hit with the otter box? I have an Otterbox with a rubberized outer shell and it fell off a car on the highway and survived the impact. I drop mine all the time with no issues.

    Think we could use a buck or a few does. Haven’t added up myself but thought something like that. Be great to see a few to get there safely

    Mine fell on the garage floor and fell flat on its back. Next thing I see is the screen face UP and it is spiderwebbed. I could not believe it. I got it fixed now and the guy that fixed it stated that he has seen many with screen breaks from all kinds of box's that are to protect them. They all seem to fail at one point or another.

    Well working OT again today. I might be able to get out Thur afternoon or Sat. Bummer is the temps are going up on Sat to the 40s & rain. It'll make it tough for tracking. I'm hoping to get out thur afternoon while the temps are still down and snow on the ground. We got about 8" of snow on sunday.
    Who ever is left good luck. We really need a nice buck and a doe. So if someone can at least whack a doe.......
    Dawg-have a good time in Florida.
    Western- good luck with smoke pole and to your daughters.

    Well didn't make it out thur. Sat sounds like a wash out with rain coming, predicting an inch of rain. bummer is all the snow will be washed away and don't know if its worth going out in the rain. If I wack one may not be able to find a blood trail.
    otherwise it'll be Monday. Really wanna get out but schedule not workin out. Got ill 1st weekend in jan. for the season.

    Sunday is the last day of rifle season. I guess I'm taking my granddaughter out to see if she can get her a good buck. I may take my crossbow just in case. We had good luck with the rifle. My son has killed two, one for Yahilyn and my buck and a doe on Thanksgiving day. Expecting 2-3" of snow next weekend. I'll be out there.
