Well done, all-around! Thanks for noticing and commenting.I do not care for all the gory photos some folks post, it shows no respect for the game. I'm sure you also noticed the 'last bite'..which I give to any proper big game animal. "...the left considers you vermin, and they'll kill you given the chance..." Bristoe
