A big goose egg for me but I'm hoping this yr will finally pan out with a bear, I passed on a small 2yr old a couple years ago.

Harvested and partially digested...
It is hard to follow one great vision in a world of darkness and of many changing shadows. Among these shadows men get lost.

 :chuckle:  Well, you can feel good that you are not the first and for sure won't be the last to choke when a bear appears.  And it could be worse!  You could be that client of mine that went chasing after the elk with only a single bullet in his hand leaving the gun to shoot it out of in the truck ;)
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."
