Default Longest day of the year.......

Nope, it's not the summer solstice on June 20th.........

It's today. The car is packed, and I'm here at work and have to be here till 5 before I can take off and head to pick up Dan (Jawshooter) and head to his camp for our annual 9 days of hunting split between my camp inPAand his in NY. It's gonna be a long 9 hours today, I'm so excited I barely slept last night............[:-].

Matt - I know how you feel buddy. I felt the same way last week before I left for Campbell's.

Good luck hunting, and we all expect to see some good trophy photos when you get back!

You aren't kidding. I'm slammed too.......two customer demo's so far today and I have 2x more before I get out of here. At least I'm busy and not sitting here looking out the window.

Thanks so much guys! I won't have internet access while in NY, but if Dan or I tag something big before we head to PA I will find a way to let someone know. Once we get to PA on Monday night, I now have wireless setup in the cabin so I can post updates from there. I can also post the results from my trail camera contest that is on the following thread probably on Tuesday. Dan, if you win the contest thread you don't get arrows, maybe a shot or two on me at the Warriors Lounge! [8D]
