Coastie,
Greetings from Colorado, I read your note, stirred up crap, huh! Well, I have never intended to cause problems, but seems to me you are not happy with several opinions that I have recieved from these folks, they are good idea's and very constructive. I would have to say to you, if Hemingway had access to the internet, you think he would sit in bars and do his research? I believe he would do both, on the internet and at the bar. I am in the field hundreds of hours a year, doing interviews. I enjoy this site, it's the best information I have read from the average hunter, if you see my name, just move on. No reason to get worked up on your part

outdoor338, haven't you stirred up enough crap in the past several weeks as it is? I know, I know, you are researching background material etc. etc. Well, get out and set around some campfires, buy some rounds at the local tavern, smell some gunsmoke, do something other than stir crap!!!!!! What would Hemingway or Ruark have done in this situation? Surely not ask this motley group of grizzled old farts their opinion.!
