Glad to hear you and your dog made it out safe, Hardwood! I think any one of us one here would have done that for our dogs. I know I would. Bowman, I get that same lecture everytime I head out to hunt in the middle of nowhere amongst the mountain lions, bears, and other crazies that roam the forests out here. :grin: We should probably all be listening to our wives more closely, yet we still go out alone. Glad you are still among the hunting, Hardwood and not another statistic!
