RE: finally got the big one..
That's a bad thing to have to go through.
I used to live in Ohio, born and raised there. (been in Maine for 15 years.) However, this type of thing is exactly why I moved out of state. Too damned many people down there. I like Ohio, still have lots of family and friends down there, but just couldn't take it anymore.
When I hunt up here, I rarely see anyone else unless it's somebody I'm hunting with.
