springspur, I burned myself out pretty bad today, then drove 2 1/2 hours back up to St. Louis for work. My tom's measurements are just slightly less than your #2 bird. I'll file him tomorrow.


I'm bailing on my other 4th season tag due to I was not impressed with any of the public land there, outside the one that flooded. The only two great properties are designated refuge. But there's only two days left for that tag anyway. Next for me is a 4th season North permit JEPC starts Thursday. I'll go there this evening to scout for some dust bowls. Should be able to top my first bird by season's end.
