wihunter, thanks....got it fixed pretty quick and so I wasn't out of commission long. No shots fired yet. Saw about a 125" 9 pointer yesterday morning, prob a 3 year old...not quite a shooter. Weather has been cool but windy and with a lot of rain of late...hoping to clear off soon....but will be hitting it in the morning! good luck to you all and i will keep you all posted on my luck....or lack thereof!
