Well thank you greenboy, I appreciate the support. I agree, I would have quit hunting a long time ago if I let myself get discouraged. Surprised last night..yup...discouraged..never...I guess my post was simply to say.. even when all the stars seem like they are aligned ...we still never know what may or may not show up..its nights like last night that get me wondering what the heck is up.. there is a fresh...newly planted this year...alfalfa field about 1/2 mile from where I was last night..bet you can guess where I will be this evening..
