RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
Ouch! That's a tough break, WANWTF. You are right though. A week earlier and you would have been in a world of hurt. Glad to hear you are feeling better. Hopefully good enough to go after an Eastern before the end of the season.
I am counting down the hours before we leave. Should be over near Hunters tomorrow around 3 or so. Hopefully I will get an encouraging report from some property owners where I plan to hunt and have my game plan all put together for the following morning.
