Lol--the bowfishing trip is for my son--been promising him we'd do it for a year or two--just hadn't been able to find someone I could get out with. Got news today that we may have to swap out the bowfishing for a pig hunt--either one works for us! It's mainly a chance for us to do a father/son trip.

Had three opportunities for elk fall through on my last year, when a dear friend got in really bad shape from cancer. Actually one trip fell through on it's own (fellow I was going to go with had problems), then I had to cancel the next because Earl was in such bad shape, then had to turn down a third offer after Earl passed away because I had too much lost time to make up for. This one hasn't happened yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I really don't have the time or money for it, but we (my wife and I) will figure it out as we go--I can cut back on a luxury here and there (who needs food and electricity anyway? lol). My philosophy is this: if I live to be an old man, I want to drive the grandkids nuts talking about what I've done, not what I WISH I'd done! So much for their inheritance.........[8D]
