Grizzly,you cannot draw a bow in one such as I have.You sure as shooting can get in some great sleep time tho.

Thanks Stan, when i picked up gear from my dad's I also borrowed a decent leg iron to tote around with me. Nice old stainless .357 smith & wesson, can't remember the exact model but it's a pre transfer bar model, a little security.

Stan, I have no problem taking a nap just settin on my stool in an open blind. Don't even need a tree to lean back on, although it would be nice. Going to check out a box blind this week. Walls and a roof, man I'll have to carry an alarm clock with me.

Have to love those frosty mornings, and warm afternoons. Makes good weather for a nap. Have a safe trip on your way out there Dave. I'm not even going to say have fun, because you're taking RWS, so I KNOW you'll have fun. RWS will have fun too, but I think he's more excited that he is missing school. Good luck boys.

Ummmm, uh, Dave? Dave? I am still sitting here waiting....? Have a great time. Looks like good weather for ya. No shootin' them in the nose this year, eh? Shot some geese on Sun morning (5 of us shot 10). Then I got the little girl and we jumped a couple of potholes and shot a nice woodie in the afternoon. Wow, did she have fun. She kept whispering during the stalk "Zip it, Lock it, Put it in your Pocket" cuz I told her she had to be quiet. Pretty funny. I even let her find the woodie. She got pretty excited then! We jumped about 15 woodies and I should have got 2, but I kept going from one bird to the next looking for the drakes and ran out of time before I found the second one.
