Terry,

Mike and I are going to move that quadrapod stand with the swivel seat out to the edge where the "bay of pigs" and that clearcut meet- it's 18 feet tall and has a nice comfortable seat on it...should be great for comfortably glassing the 250 ac clear cut, seeing the hogs and then getting down and cutting them off.

Mike is the kind of guy you always want in camp- cheerful, easy to please, hunts hard, and never complains. That's hard to find these days and he's a real treasure.  Hope you guys get to meet him some day if you've not yet.  

Plus he's a real L.A. kind of guy- Lower Alabama, that is!

Nice pig, Ray!  :thumbsup:

Bow, 56" hybrid, handle looks like a Centaur?

My pics are fuzzy. Great DIAl-UP Service.  :(

That's right...it's a glass and wood centaur...I bought used off the 'Gang....killed everything I shot at with it..then sold....stupid, right? I missed it, thought it was gone forever- and just this year a nice fellow traded it back to me.

It's a "magic" bow.

COOL RAY!!!!.....

I always thought it would be really cool to actually be able to glass an area and plan an ambush.  Not many places here in the east to do that.....let me know how it goes.

Howdy Mike!!!!!    :wavey:
