I have one of those also, Mine has been loaded since 12-3, and things have just gotten in the way of the mission... hopefully this last week of December after Christmas things will slow down enough that i can get out there again...

Best Wishes to you and good luck in the hunt.

Mine has been loaded since 11/25. TOO LONG. Time is running thin here, too. I need another one for the freezer, so hopefully I will "unload" it tomorrow!
