Congrats and way to stick with it! Most people would have given up but you didnt... with a little help from friends. Good job!

You're right. That's why I posted this... one should stay on the trail. It bothers me greatly that I was willing to quit the trail to keep my friends happy. (They needed to get up at 3am to hunt in the morning and I didn't want them to be mad that I was keeping them out.) If I were by myself, I would have definitely kept on the trail because I would have been only wasting my own time if the trail proved fruitless.

I did give Deb a big hug and told her I owe her the next 10 lunches. (we buy lunch for who ever gets a deer that day)
