Hey Vance, no joy on this end. At least you got to get out and give it a try. So far I haven't even set foot in the field, and haven't been to the range in months.
May get to go hunting next week for moose (season still open where i hunt), but not looking like I can get away from work. Was at least going to try to thin out the brown bears a little on this trip if I couldn't find a moose.
Looks like I may just go blacktail hunting in the Sound from my boat. Fun hunting and usually can get my deer for winter meat.
You will find that bull one of these days. May still be enough time left for a black bear in the berries if that is your thing.
Nice hearing from you. Take care.
