Sounds like we have treaded a lot of the same turf Heidi!! I am originally from Northwood and have hunted quite a bit in Gilmanton myself. Mostly the section of 140 between the school and the jct of 107. Haven't been to Hotspots, but I will check it out...my brother lives in New Durham on Old Rte. 11.

If you wouldn't mind, could you ask Mike if he can rehydrate ears and reset them on a mount. The ding-dong in Landaff set the ears on my last buck facing forward...they look like friggin donkey ears.
