Better Late Than Never

Took a couple years longer than expected but I finally turned the dissertation into my committee Friday morning. After getting permission from the wife, I hit the road for eastern Montana for my one and only deer hunt of the year. Glad I went...Not too excited about the four mile pack out though...

Pending committee and defense, I suppose this is your last deer as a "Mr Mike". Congratulations on the dissertation completion (huge!!) and on your one-chance deer.

Care to share your topic and basic findings on your dissertation?

Good job on both accomplishments.
Now I don't have to share as much meat with you since you have that tasty muledeer buck to gnaw on.

I worked on the lower Yellowstone River studying the distributions, abundances, and movements of small nongame fish. Long story short, there's a pile of fish in the Yellowstone River and most of them move a lot between the Yellowstone and its tributaries. Also, dams are not good for fish nor are oil spills. However, oil spills are less bad when diluted by exceptional spring runoff.

Would you rather have muley steaks instead of pork?
