Labhunter,

A man after my heart! I have two black labs! Both are excellent hunting dogs...fur or feather!

That sika was taken in Texas this past December. When I saw him, I had difficulties stopping my heart! I thought it was going tojump out of my chest! I arrowed him from thirty four yards.

Hey, if you need help getting rid of those pests , let me know! I'll help you wack and stack em...PM me, we'll work out a trade hunt.

For the record, I have three major hunting goals:

1) to collect all 27 North American big game animals ( I'm 14 into it).
2) to harvest a "quality representation of the species" deer from all fifty states (I have nine state under my belt and several to go back to...including Maryland)
3) I would like to complete SCI's World Hunting Award Program (I'm well on my way. At the end of this year, I'll have 3-4 grand slams and many Inner Circles at the silver ,gold, and diamond levels. 26 of my bow animalswill qualify for thier record book and 7 of those will be in the "Top Ten". I have hunted on four continents...Europe and Asia next).

I'm a serious advocate of "Swap Hunts". I've met a ton of fun people doing them. It seems more of us are birds of a feather than not!
