Scott,
Been talking to some of the guys about getting you to the 2012 Boar Hunt. I suggested hand-cuffs, rope and chloroform. The guys said that I was being a wuss, and they suggested considerably more aggressive approaches.
Well, we have about 3 months to work it out.
Good luck?
Steve

If he burns his tires, how's the Prious gonna get back to New Hampshire? Rims can't be THAT big... blue tape to the rescue. Maybe four rolls?

They're Prius tires; he said to go in the fire it has to be bigger than a breadbox. He must be tying some tires from a real car to the top of his Prius to throw on the fire.

Look at the admin. guy taking shots at a real cop . I'll have you know that my truck was made in Texas. The old Chevy had to go and as of Sept. 27th, a Tundra CrewMax replaced it! I miss my 8' bed, but the cab makes up for it. [bleep] Prius...... George

I worked with a former Marine Corp pilot. He swore helicopters weren't really flying, they did it with mirrors. Than I asked him what we were seeing when a helicopter crashed; he said someone broke one of the mirrors.

OK, I admit that airplanes naturally want to fly, but helicopters beat the air into submission!

Steve,
Put me down as "definitely interested" but I have to see what the next month or two looks like for workload. If there is still an open spot come mid-Feb and I'm not buried and the "boss" gives her affirmative nod . . . sounds like it would be a hoot. I'll check with you later, if I decide yes and there's not a slot, well, I will be too late and I hope all have a great time.

Boys, so as not to hold a "maybe" spot, I'm officially backing out for this year. Africa, and funds spent on the house is going to make 2012 a rather lean year, hunting wise. However, make sure that you have an "official" Wilderness hunting thread/hero pics, when ya get back. See if Rick will pin it for a few weeks, so everybody can read it. Ya'll have fun now! maddog

Sorry to hear it Maddog but you can't say it's not a great event you're dropping out for.
