Marty looks like you had one awesome hunt.  at least your stuff didn't go missing on the flight over. i feel confident they will find you gear and get it back to you. we had one bag that didn't make it home as well. it arrived via fedex a week later.

bet your taxidermist has a big smile on his face   :biglaugh:

Rob, I really enjoyed your photo's,and stories. As far as my taxidermist, he's gonna find out what one at a time means.We had a guy get his bow 3 days into the trip, but he used others and did well, that's I guess one of the downfalls of a trip like that!

i am with you on the one at a time deal with the taxidermist.  it's crazy that it cost almost as much to have your trophies mounted as it does to hunt them.....

Howdy neighbor!  I was born and raised in New Kensington.  One of my best friends lives in Irwin and my sister-in-law as well.  I'll be up that way for a deer hunt later this fall and I am passing through for work next weekend.  I'll say hello to the neighborhood for you! I hope to meet you in Pittsburgh in March.

Very good Marty.  At least your bow should be relaxed and well rested for the coming season.  Good luck!
