Sorry for the long wait on the heat map. I had a surgery this week, and the recovery took longer than I thought. Also, I had a heck of a time trying to find a site that would help me make a heat map without too many restrictions. I ended up using Maply. While it lets me put in enough data points, it won't let me share a "live map" without a subscription. I was hoping yall would be able to zoom in and out and scroll around, as it's pretty cool seeing all the data come to life. But, you'll have to do with just a simple view. I still think it gives a pretty good idea. Hope y'all enjoy! I'll update it if any more significant data is posted.
But we ended up with:
524 responses covering 158 counties, which clocks in a little over 62% of the state. I'de say that's pretty darn good for a single forum!!!

Each red dot represents an individual county. The darker the red dot, the more data for that location. You can see the list below to see how many were in a particular county.

Killed my first deer in 1977 in Gillespie County -- a big spike buck whose antlers are proudly displayed in my home office (looking at them now).
