My first total eclipse I have seen in 71 years. I thourghly enjoyed it. I was in Decatur. My camera was not up to the task but my daughter-in-law's was. Seeing planets mid afternoon was the icing on the cake.

Red, Fallow, or Sika deer? And is it even from the US?

Since I have my daughter and 1 year old granddaughter living with me and there is really no conclusive study on CWDs effects on humans I do have some concerns. A faster check and results would be great. Here's what I posted in the other thread. I am not worrying about it at all. Take a look at Colorado. It was first detected in captive deer approximately 55 years ago and first detected in wild deer 43 years ago. How many people in Colorado have tested positive for CWD? Does that mean that I have absolutely 0 disregard for it? NO. But will I spend more than a few minutes worrying about it? Again, NO. Not a damn thing I can do about it, and nothing I can do will change anything about it. Will I shoot a known sick deer? Yes. Will I try to consume any part of it? No I checked today and here is what the CDC of the USA says about CWD. To date, there have been no reported cases of CWD infection in people. SO, if none has been found in 43-55 years of exposure to humans in Colorado, I ain't gonna worry about it. Thank you for that info.

Good shooting. I think I could find safe space for a rifle like that.

Yep I read about it. It was from way up north in LaGrange Co.& I wonder how hard they check to see if it was really shot in Indiana? Could it have been shot out side out state & to avoid being hit with a citation they said it was shot in Indiana. Every state around us has CWD so it wouldn't be hard to imagine a deer crossing state line. How many years do you think it will take for it to spread all the way to the south west point of Indiana. They don't say how fast it spreads. That thought entered my mind too. And to someone living in Allen county LaGrange Co is not "way up north. Add in the number of hunters that live in Allen Co and hunt LaGrange and surrounding counties it may be as simple as someone dumping infected bones along roads and off bridges in Allen and it moves 45 miles south in 1 year. The same could happen Way down in the Southwest corner of the state. There is a high fence operation in Southwest Allen so maybe it is already here. Add the number of private deer breeders and it may be anywhere. The Emerald Ash borer was confirmed in Indiana in 2004. Has it reached the southwest corner yet? The wide open spaces of lower deer population between here and there will probably serve as somewhat of a barrier to deer from up here spreading CWD to the deer in the south. I would look to the river systems throughout the state to be corridors. Since I have my daughter and 1 year old granddaughter living with me and there is really no conclusive study on CWDs effects on humans I do have some concerns. A faster check and results would be great.

We have been lucky to avoid it this long.

It looks like a 4.5 hour drive. Maps says I69 to I69. Other than usual Orange barrel areas is there anything I need to look out for? I have confidence in my Garmin GPS but it does not show detours and delays. I am not looking forward to the down and back but it will be cheaper and safer to pick up my recent auction buy than shipping it up here. That's actually 69 to 465 south to 69 south….beware there is construction on 465 where you get on 69 south. Thank you. I have not paid much attention to where to get on South 69. Is that near where the turn off for Mooresville is?

Thank you. Hoping for good weather.
I thought I was going to be taking my 1 y.o. grandaughter along. Turns out she does not need me to watch her. Brass and dies are on the way from DUCK CREEK SPORTING GOODS and bullets from another source. I already have powder and primers suitable for it too.

Catering to special interest groups to get a few votes.
Personally I do not care what adults do as long as it does not include kids. I do object to the government sanctioning these acts. And that includes our schools teaching it. They have their lifestyle, I have mine. Do not expect me to condone them, do not expect me to condemn them either. If they want to participate in sports they do it in their gender at birth not the one they choose.

Too small for a knife handle. Would it even make it a legal buck?

While not a Remington Hunting Public just did one on hunting with Grandpa's Browning. Those chokes were designed for the overshot wad loads. They shoot shotcup loads a lot tighter. youtu.be/_tOeQO_I_nA?si=Ubxl4yp8rCd2DMZ1

I have had the same experience with Discount Tire. Just do not plug them as that voids the warranty.

I saw Putin on TV making the Catholic sign of the cross. Is he supposedly Catholic? Probably a better Catholic than Biden. I think he would be Eastern Orthodox if any religion.

We will be viewing in Decatur. We have patio seats at friends house. My only concern is my 1 YO granddaughter not keeping her glasses on. And traffic.
