Exactly...ZERO. Doesn't stop me from trying. Work seems to get in the way. I had spoken with Dale last year about heading out that way for his non-guided hunt and when he found out who I was and my success rate he suggested next year!  :chuckle: :o :dunno:

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

On 21 June, 2025 the US bombed three Iranian nuclear sites and, according to the President the Iranian nuclear capability was "obliterated". Now it appears the the US is again preparing military strikes on Iran if they won't agree to abandon their nuclear program that is/was reportedly in ruins?????
Who knew that Obama winning an Nobel Peace Prize would lead to this?

Not a single one because I have never cared for bear meat,. Any of you guys that like bear meat, but dont pack out the hides want to get me on a bear? I'd be willing to give up meat for a nice bear rug. :chuckle:
