Oh, boy. I posted this thread and then sort of lost track of where it went, somehow. So, I missed everyone's answers until this AM - LOL
I really appreciate all of the answers, (and kind offers) and I had no intention of ignoring folks - just got busy taking Christmas decorations down and getting the New Year ushered in - LOL
I hate that it was so skinny for everyone else as well but then it is nice to know it wasn't just me (or my underarm deodorant).
Wally, Ruddy, Mark, Don (funny to see how you learned a alternate hunting method from Trish, Don - hard on your vehicles though - LOL), Bud, Joe, Sandy, and Bill - thank you one and all for your responses. I think it would be a neat idea to stay in touch through a thread (like the one Bud had going last year) as we look forward to the 2012 season, do our stump shoots, etc, and big shoots, scouting, preparation, whatever. Perhaps - we'll see. In any case, thanks again for the interest/concern.
