Formidilosus,
Thanks for the epilogue. While admittedly not the top of line in every category, it shows that some concessions can be made and still have success. We don't always need the best of the best and its probably impractical anyway.

But something else struck me that I hadn't considered. Up there in one paragraph "F" said he did the trip, driving 90 hours, becaue "I can". He could put a dart on a map, buy a license, get there and hunt. That, readers, is a testament to the freedom we still have. That a well motivated indiviual can drive hundreds of miles and hunt public land on a "diy" basis is something we better make damn sure isn't taken away.
Mr. F. embodies a spirit that continues to make this a great Country in spite of who occupies the seat of power.


My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.
