Storm, just crack down on the school work and then get out there and bust one in the late season, i find that it gets better later on anyway.
Mud, I'm pretty sure that if a rattler was going across my leg i would not have been able to sit still long enough for him to get off it before I shot him.
Well i'm headed to Neb. for merriams on the opener the 17th and then will be in Mo. the next weekend. I was going to hunt the 2nd season here but will hunt the first season the 12th instead so that i can be in Neb. for the opener on the 17th.
