Good luck.  Can't wait to see the report.

Cool Beans.   I opted out of the tag this year.  Have to buy a new truck instead.  I wish I was there.

How would you guys like to turn around after calling for 40minutes and have that thing staring you down at 15yards.  I not only had to change my undies but had to burn my hunting pants as well.
