'mike - depends on the way of looking at it, I guess...

After 4 solid days of field Joe and me both had but two bites - on the last day, none of which got infected, it seems.

PIA - but could have been worse.

The reason for our most scenic, tirolean detour was just me tugging at any straw I could reach for to prolong "boots to the ground".

You may agree with me - see the serenity of a "Caffee Latte" in an old city square above...

We met Paolo, who is an old Gams hunter and author of books on hunting ballistics.

Paolo and his wife are natives of Tirol and very much live the hunting live - slowed down some by his on admission, but it was very interesting to listen to him explaining the species habit to us.
