auto fill of weather
It is now September 2016. Has there been any advancement in resolving the autofill option for the weather? This is actually a very nice feature when it worked.

some tips about hunting turkey.....
Turkey hunting in the fall is quite different from hunting turkeys in the spring. For one thing, it is not breeding season so turkey calls are not of as much use. In the fall, turkeys separate into groups of hens and poults or groups of gobblers. If you see one hen, you are not likely to see a gobbler in the entire flock. Turkeys tend to stay down in the open fields eating bugs until a hard freeze. They will then migrate up into the hardwood forests for beech nuts, acorns, etc. You can determine when this has happened by locating turkey scratchings in the leaves.

If you know where they are roosting and where they are feeding, you can position yourself between the two areas. If you walk in too close to their roost, they will hear you and avoid you when they fly down. Hunting is allowed all day long within designated hunting hours. Again, turkeys harvested must be checked-in at a checking station.

I agree with coldbeer however I think you can tell the difference between genetics and an injury. if it’s an injury I think the antler will look jagged from a break and if it’s genetics it will have a smooth texture to the non grown antler.

I looked at your images and unfortunately it can be both. deer can get an injury while in velvet and they will somehow remeber that injury kind of like a scar. the next year they can grow a new set of antlers and retain that same injury without having to be injured. Now on the flip side of that coin you can have genetics that can do the same thing. If you have deer that have great big racks on your place its likely if you let them live your going to see other deer with great big racks on your place for years to come. However if in your case they have the left anter missing and no injury has taken place your likely to see more deer with a left antler missing.

Speculation: The only way that I think you can know for sure is to capture one of these deer and breed them to see what the results are. However capturing wildlife in most states is illegal and I wouldn’t suggest that.

They can have my bow when they pry it from my cold dead fingers!

I harvested a nice buck last year that only had the left side of his antlers. I figured something happened to him during velvet and he was an older deer so I took him. I just check my pictures for this year an there stands another one with just the left side yet a couple years younger. Could this be a a genetic anomily or a coincidence or "Old Lefties" ghost?
