There was a lady named HoundGirl who posted a lot while trying to collect a blacktail deer this past season. She was offered a lot of help on her hunts in Washington or Oregon, but said she wanted to do it completely by herself. She started out asking questions about which rifle to buy, which caliber, scope, then deer hunting tactics and the whole nine yards. According to her posts, she went out every single day during the season, but unfortunately, did not collect a deer. The way this lady hunted and did what she did was, and is, a tribute to all hunters. I guess she did not want to post on this thread. Tom Purdom
