    Problem is I bought this at a bass pro shop a long time ago and I didn’t send in any registry. The site says you need the receipt. I may have to call and find out because the spring is wore out.

    Even locked and stored in your vehicle?

    When I go to the office, I take the train, so I don't drive any of my vehicles. I thought of checking with building security of they'd hold my locked case, but not sure if that would fly since security is a sub contractor to our company (I.e. Company policy would likely trump common sense).

    It's always worth the ask. The worst they can do is scoff and say, "No, get out of here, you killer."
    The other part, of course, is bringing a weapon on public transit.

    He just wouldn’t come in any closer…but a small 10 bedded looking away. His buddy was smaller, maybe a 6...

    Well still got a few days of tree time likely ahead of me - been a rough year, could turn any minute.

    Rain today, but should be out the rest of the week. Wind will change on Thursday, so I plan to hang a stand in a new spot tomorrow afternoon.

    Though I planned to hunt till the end of our season (1/1), my season may be done.

    My youngest brother in MS has been quasi incommunicado since he lost his job back in April. Somehow, his neighbor had my older sisters phone number, gave her a call and mentioned he hasn't seen my brother lately. After a welfare visit and no response, my sister filed a missing person report...cops broke the door down and found my brother dead...my other sister is headed to MS to meet with the coronor and start making arrangements with a funeral home.

    So if I disappear for a week or so from the forum...

    That's terrible. I'm sorry to hear that. Family always comes first. Chasing deer is always a passion, not a necessity. I'll also send prayers your way.

    Bill im sorry for your loss.

    I am having the same heartache, as my Dad passed unexpectedly Wednesday.

    Life can change before you can foresee it. Please dont take tomorrow for granted and tell those whom you love what they mean to you. Most things dont mean anything right now . I guess time will heal.

    I'm at a loss for words, guys. Take care of the ones you love and give them extra attention to make them know you care.

    So, I'm back from a whirlwind trip to MS.

    What a mess of emotions.

    Anger - My brother to stubborn to ask for help: medical (didn't know he had a heart attack and COPD), repairs/maintenance to his place (ceiling fell in, 10 half done projects, yard/ fence in such bad state the city was getting ready to fine him). Not asking for help.

    Pride - seeing and hearing of just a tidbit of his work, research, effects on others lives / careers...

    Sadness - memories and stuff above

    Overwhelmingness - There are lots of legal issues...(Not criminal, estate and next of kin) don't know if anybody has expertise here, I think I know the answers unfortunately, just looking for confirmation...drop me a pm if you have insights here...

    Exhaustion (mental, physical, I'll get to emotional eventually but for now I'll keep a lot bottled up ) - 3 days and about 5 hrs of sleep...oh and 1300+ miles driven.
