Uh, thanks to everyone that had the intestinal fortitude to sit through the entire novel I wrote.  Sorry about that, I just realized how looooooong it was... :chuckle:
Thanks for all the kind words also.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Awesome story and awesome hunt. I love the fence!! :P

Yeah, the rancher had us camp in his roundup corral.  It was convenient for us, as the mouth of the main drainage we were hunting was right across the road from us.  No driving to our "hunting spot", just open two gates and cross the road.
  "You'll be surrounded by the fence.  That way the cows will leave you alone too."  It also had a warm spring running into a cattle trough.  "You can use it to wash your hands, or do your dishes, BUT DON"T DRINK FROM IT." 

There was special emphasis on the idea that we NOT drink the spring water that spilled into the trough.  No explanation as to why, :dunno: but you can bet your A$$ we didn't drink from that spout... :chuckle:
