Post by: C-Money on October 31, 2010, 08:58:36 PM: I have hiked and stood over draws looking all day for two days now. I have seen nothing. This is strange, as I have hardly gone a day for many, many years with out seeing any. I usually have a hard time keeping count! not this year, 0! It is still a ton of fun!
