Interesting stories, and I confess I don't have a story to contribute . . . yet. I wanted to remark, though, that these stories suggest another positive element of the hunting activity that I haven't thought of before. I think hunting is good for people in a number of ways, and these stories suggest that hunting can also be a character building activity that reveals to you what is important -- the health and well being of your father for instance -- and tests your fortitude. Cool stories. A little more fortitude and self-reliance involved here than in chasing a little white ball around an immaculately groomed lawn!

Datamax:
Is the hypoglycemia a condition you are disposed to (for instance, as being a diabetic?) or is anyone subject to this condition if they overdo as you may have on that day? I ask so I can be forwarned if need be.
