Well you guys have said it all so all that I can say is I Agree. I do have to confess that I am only 19 yrs old and do still have a little competitive blood flowing, and yes my buddies and I do jeer each other, in fun, about who' s beard is longer or spurs, etc. But most importantly we will all be out there again next year having a BLAST!!! And yes I will continue my quest for the older and smarter birds, as others have said due to their wisdom and challenge. Bravo to all who agree and love the hunt not he " Book"
