Ah...the fire of youth...that part of slippin off boots and raingear though... :eek: :rolleyes:
That'd take me a good 15 min to get my ankle fit knee-high rubber boots off and I'd be puffin like a ole freight train!
Excellent story. Great hunt. Good perseverence and so neat to see you so pumped. May your love with stick n string last a lifetime!
