If you notice, everyone has said "congrats but..."

I am sure that Dave is an accomplished hunter. The beauty of this board is you get to here and learn from the experiences of hunters across the nation. This information is priceless.

There is a difference is being maliciously critical or giving you constructive criticism. And I think everyone has done the latter.

As I said before, congrats but take the information everyone has shared with you, absorb it, and remember it for your future hunts.
