Brent, Rocky, Jim - keep up the efforts, good luck to ya!

I just got backfrom Texas, a great (non-hunting) trip down there. I had the wife with me, and we took some side trips to the National Wildlife Refuges to hike/bird watch. One of those hikes, I was closely following her on an overgrown trail whenshe stepped over an unseen cottonmouth. Fortunately, she missed stepping on the snake, and the snake went into a defensive posture instead of striking out. What an adrenaline rush!

I'll be hunting a lot starting this week.
