Hey Vance, by a fluke I just happened to stop by (think I have been away a lot longer than you).
Glad to hear things going well. Was rereading a couple of Jay Massey's books the other weekend and was actually thinking about getting my father's old Bear recurve out and maybe doing a little deer hunting with it in PWS this fall. Haven't given up on handguns, but just haven't had much opportunity to go shooting or hunting lately, and Massey inspired me.
I got married summer before last, have a 14 month old son and another due in middle of moose season (bad timing). Kinda alot to handle for a guy 49 yo. All that, and I am building a 16' Sevtec Surveyor hovercraft in my spare time (going to be a real duck killer when its done).
Have a friend that wants a black bear, so even though I am not that mad at them any more, I might have to chase them around a little this spring myself.
Take care.
Rob
