Posting this on the Deer Hunting forum intentionally:

Received news at the Indiana Bowhunter Banquet last night that Dr. Jim Mitchell, retired Indiana Deer Biologist, was killed in an auto accident on Friday.

Years ago, when I accepted the position as IBA Rep to the Indiana Deer Advisory Committee, I remember Gene Hopkins saying:

"You may not always like to hear what Jim is saying about deer management, but you can count on it being the truth."

Those words proved to be absolute and I gained alot of respect for Jim during my years with the IDAC....and after.

Found this photo of Dr. Jim in my archives...taken shortly before his retirement.

Rest in peace Jim.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.
