Bill...I think you may be right. Our talk and his memory of Coyote Ugly with Teri's son,Ryan,helped.

Such a great trip that I saw pass by in seconds rather than hours. I think on my next trip I may just socialize with the gang rather than the hunting from 6am till 830 or 4am should you be a lucky GregW lottery winner.

I never thought I'd get into the axis and varmint hunting the way I did. That varmint hunting and the education GregW gave me truly blew me away;it was that cool. I also went in thinking axis would be unchallenging and unrewarding. I was dead wrong. Those axis are every bit as way as deer and more difficult to pattern, at least for me.

Thanks again for that 3 hours of hunting and chatting,Bill. Seeing those huge Toms in full strut from 400 yards away with those Leicas of yours is still a vivid picture in my mind.
