Thanks guys!! My mailman must be reading mine, I hope it is in the box today so we can take it to camp this weekend.
It was tough bringing all the 2011 successes of my gang into ONE story...so I hope it does not sound too choppy.
Anyway, thanks for the comments, and as always DPMS, Arrowhead and all the others I look forward to all your well thought out informative regular features as well, a cover to cover keeper read for me every time.
Also, thanks guys and TBrom for asking me to share my year in the magazine, it was and will be a thrill for the boys, myself and my Dad to see their story and pics in there. Just a nice finishing touch to one heck of year as we prep for the next. You can type a million stories on the internet and I am addcited to the instant feedback and interaction from those, but for some reason seeing it in print is like a trophy. Another framer for the mancave... ;), I may have to find an extra copy or two for that.
You guys just made this ONE LONG workday

...I am guessing i will be getting a call around 3:45 when the boys get off the bus and get the mail.

Have a good one fellas, and thanks again for the comments and to all that gave me the opportunity to do a little print writing. And Mike (arrowhead) what can I say about your help and guidance in equiping huntetrs from 8-72, your homework and experience on the weapons certainly is evident, and having you put together the packages let us do more homework on figuring out the hill, I owe alot of the 2011 year to you, THANKS for your part in the best year of my hunting life. (so far

)
Wald, I don;t think it will be on the site for awhile.
