I really enjoyed tagging along.
Agree with Michael and the rest of the gang, well done.
Almost looked easy and inviting to want to hunt the "H".
I'm whooped everytime I finish up there.

I can see that, Scott. The intent wasn't to advertise the "H" (and make it harder to draw) but rather to document my 2015 journey which was a "do over" of sorts as I got my arsss handed to me royally in Seg-C of 2014. I was completely unprepared. That was a low point for me, hunting-wise.
Next time I am fortunate enough to be drawn I'll look at doing a companion video showing the other, less sexy side of things that few folks without experience hunting the "H" can appreciate: the scouting in the muggy heat, mosquitos, ticks, snakes and skunks, the sore muscles and aching back, the stressing over reading sign correctly, the hours spent in the gym and pounding the pavement to get your fat rear-end in "H" hunting shape, agonizing over prioritizing sets, then re-prioritizing again and again, trying to predict the future on the wind, then Mother Nature has a fling with Murphy (of Murphy's law fame) that results in massive flooding which throws things on their head.....and all that is just a part of the prep before the hunt. The vid would need to show the hours spent just hiking and biking in the dark. The compressed period of sleep deprivation with 3:40 alarms, blah, blah, blah......I don't intend to be over dramatic but I'll bet that video would balance the others as folks come away with a "well that sucked" thought that may result in people looking elsewhere for an easier hunt.
Thanks for the positive comments. I look forward to sharing a cold one with you.

That makes two of us then! Always learning and looking for ways to improve.

Got the certificate back today. It is the first that I've submitted and glad I took Public's advice.
Congrats again Micah! Not a lot of guys who can say the first public land deer was a P&Y! You earned it!
