Thanks Barry...........These stories of Schaf (and others) are a part of our "tradition" and because your willing to share them, it can continue. Imagine what it would be like if no one was willing to share experiences like this with us? Dave

That was an awesome read! What a perspective from your point of view...you have to be truly humbled being able to spend some of the best hunts of your life with Schaf'...great job on the writing, I felt like I was there.
Thanks for the humor too, you surely have a way with words....
its Miller time!

heard it, too. Biggie told me on the ride home in September. Good to hear it from the horse's mouth, though. Wayne left a bunch of the good stuff out
