Perhaps it is time for little update, as I have been, it may have been noticed or more likely, not, absent from the 'fire for a while.
After enjoying the life of a roving scientist and guide-for-hire for the first 12 years of my professional life I have gone into harness fulltime a few month back.
With family - this feels like a good choice - even if it means giving up some freedoms - like attending a hog hunt in Texas.
Thank you, Dan, for organizing this in the past.
As an attendee from 2015 and 2016 I want to most harshly reccommend, to the point of being pushy, attendance of this event.
A more relaxed group of "gentle giants" will be hard to find.
Carl, sorry to hear that you can't make it. I really enjoyed hearing your hunting stories and your knowledge of such. You're a fine gentleman and will be missed. Good luck to you in your new venture.
However, what the hell is "Harness"?
