ABM - Boy, I' d be losing my lunch if I had to put up with that kind of high temperatures![] Good luck - hope you survive. My wife gets back on the jet tomorrow night from Seattle & Victoria, she said it was even hot down there! My blood must be too thick for high temps. Glad to hear that you had SEAK out and about, getting some exercise. That bull was just plain lucky - if he' d had a plan and kept moving in just one direction, you probably would have him hanging up somewhere cool about now!

Nim - I' m striking-out so far on finding transportation in to the draw hunt area for caribou. I will put in some phone time in over the weekend and see what and who I can find (wish I knew more people up in your neck of the woods). I' d like to do my part to keep the herd thinned, but its pretty awkward being over one this side of the State and trying to get important arrangements like these worked out. Time will tell. Have you arrowed any pike lately?
