Don't worry, Don.
You always have your van to keep you grounded.
(sorry[8D])

Congrats on the land Don! Sounds like you had an awesome trip. Was the black bear in MO or Iowa? Hey remember if you ever need someone to hunt with I'm not too far away.
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your Grandma.

Actually, the missouri department of conservation has recently estimated missouri's black bear population to be around 500. They just aren't sighted very often, but I've heard about them being pretty close to where I am.

What the hell is a bear doing way down there? Thats gotta be the 1st!
Congrats on the 9000 acres there Mobow, good luck with it and I hope you do well.
But I guess the neatest thing we saw was a great big black bear in the middle of a hay field.

Hey PT, don't they speak American in NY?
Don got it, here I'll break it down for ya. [8D]
Now, this is saying how wonderful it is for Don (mobow) BUT,
This statement here was asking what happened to the land he tagged that wonderful buck on last year (season) See PT, mobow just acquired this land last season I believe.
Now this is where it gets difficult, [8D] I was saying here that I remember his description from last year and it sounded very promising.
Okay, I'll slow down here. You see, it should sound promising as he took a buck off it last year, you see it produced.
Man PT, you might be purtier but man your definately slower. [8D] Oh, and older, that might have something to do with it.

Have no fear buddy.....I'll be hunting that this year as well. And that spot should be KILLER. It's got bean planted, and around here they were planted pretty late. I think they'll still be green come season, and it just so happens I took opening day off. Now if I can just get the wind I need.....we'll see what happens. No guarantee of a replay by any means, but it's gonna be an awfully exciting year.

That's great Don however, what happened to the land you took your buck on last season, that also sounded very promising as well it should, it produced?

BTW, I think you may call that Pennsylvanian... not American [:-]
Geez, between you in one ear and Germ in the other, I'm gonna need a Labotomy after the GTG
