Ha!! I'm thinking the tellin' of this hunting story has as much ups and downs as the hunting ground!

All that cooking has started some rumbling locally, hmm.. 7:30 p.m. Ah well, definitely a 'food for the soul' sort of story.

I dare say, 'You done good'.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I have had time to reflect and heal up some. My hunt was something I will always cherish, and feel in my heart as the hardest thing I have ever done. I think any hunt like this gives you confidence: in life, in the field, in yourself.

I think back at the events as I sit here in flat So. IL and I tell myself that I really did this. You guys can too! Life is too short to dance with ugly women. Get some of these hunts in your system. You will never be disappointed!
