I mean, sure, we have the usual gun by the door, another near the TV, one in the kitchen, and another in the bedroom.For the most part though, we keep our home free of guns. We are peace loving folks.

Thanks Luke, looking forward to getting one in your sights in 2011, perhaps another for me too:) It was nice to finally hunt with someone that shares similar goals regardless of the effort required. Not to mention prepared to get it done, even after your unfortunate loss of the Skoal flip;) Im thankful. My half of the meat is nearly gone, been spreading the love via BBQ. I just finished cleaning the skull recently as well. Last edited by Fishkilla; 10/03/10. Ahh, nice marmot

Still have a fair amount of my sheep meat left due to lack of being home to eat it. Figure I will start eating it in earnest after November when my hunting season slows down. Yep hopefully 2011 will be the year of getting me a ram. If not I have just as much fun going on these trips and just being out in the middle of nowhere where most don't like to hike to, and its just easier to take a supercub into, but we are too cheap and too stupid to realize that.

I hope you enjoy that half as much as I do reading it. congrats.

Thanks for sharing! Allen It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't, everyone would do it. The hard...is what makes it great. Reviews are only as good as the crowd reviewing them.
