    Well boys it took 21 days of hard hunting and the worst luck you have ever seen for 20 days when it finally happened, I went from the worst of lows to the highest of highs in 15 seconds. Heck we even had a young man fall asleep at the wheel of his truck and crash off the bridge right by our bedding ground that was starting to show big boys and we thought we were going to the scene to pull out a dead body and when we got over to him he was fine. But they had to drive a bull dozer right through our bedding area.. Enough said here he is he should go around 160 but I havent put a tape to him yet!! Walt
