Hi there, well I finally have rn set up on my own machine. I've
had to post on Clarence Chang's account all summer because my
account didn't have rn installed at work. Well It was I who wrote
that sickening account of my damage permit hunt, not Clarence. 
(He doesn't hunt)

Well Purdue is finally entering the real world (kinda) by giving us
labor day off, so I get to go back to Cincy and hopefully fill one or
more damage permit tags. ( the orchard has 3 more) Also since the two
bucks had completely formed antlers I think that some of the bucks
should have shed their velvet by now, so hopefully I will get
something without velvet.  BTW has anyone out their in netland taken
any animals while in velvet?  I'm asking because I now have three sets
of whitetail antlers in velvet and I don't know how to preserve them
in that state. They are kinda unique, and I'd like to keep them in
velvet. I currently have them in freezer and they have kept well
temporarily.(one set has been in there since Aug '90) Any suggestions?
I'm especialy looking for someone with experience preserving velvet.

	I'm also curious how many of you keep a log book of your
hunting trips? I just started this year, and that is how I could go
back and find some statistics on the trip. I made the log book this
spring off of the top of my head. Here is a copy of the daily record
page. It was written using the vi editor so I'm not sure if it will
come out looking right when posted. If you start your own log book
feel free to use this for your own page or use it as is. I also have a
page format for a monthly summary, yearly summary, yearly equipment
review, and a past summary.  Any suggestions for improvements on this
one are welcome. Also if anyone would like a copy of one or more of
the other pages email me at smithm@cn.ecn.purdue.edu and I'll send you
a copy. good hunting
