It really was, Dogboy. He would slam on the brakes and jump out of the truck and yell, "com'ere, look at this!" It would be fresh tracks, and he would paint the picture of what was going on at the time they were made. We'd go into an area and he'd predict the inhabitants, then find sign to reinforce his prediction. He has eyes like an eagle. He was always the first to spot critters, even if they were over a mile away. Other times he'd say, "Man, I'd love to trap this area". In fact, both of our "guides" made us feel like we were with old friends. I would hunt with them again in a heartbeat. It was a very positive experience. Maybe after the first of the year you and I could get together for a few sessions. You're just up the 15 from me. I think it would be fun.

Be glad to sir. Let me know when your up to it. Also I got some 100 grain 243 factory ammo I'll turn you onto, that I won't shoot.

Thank you. You have got yourself a deal!

Nasa,

You are too kind!

You and TJ were both troopers and I appreciate that both of you knew your limitations. That is easy to work with. What is difficult is working with someone who doesn't understand his limitations. It was an enjoyable experience. Too bad the coytoes were so unresponsive. Hope your foot surgery goes good. Say hi to TJ!

Nasa:

I'm new to the predator hunting scene, and have been reading with enjoyment the experiences you all had during your Globe hunt. Something that caught my eye though, and is totally off the subject, was that you are having foot surgery, possibly for heel spurs? The only reason I ask is that I am having heel problems also. If you would indulge me, would you please email me at

jimbergmann32@msn.com

and let me know about your foot problems? Maybe I can benefit from some of your experiences.

Thanks in advance,
Jim

Jim- You have mail.

Thought this would be fun to bring back up.

Oh yeah man i could not stop LOL and rolling on the floor, man it was funny as heck when he talk about it.....

Yea, ol' Duanne was great fun on that hunt (has anybody heard from Duanne, I sorta miss him around here. Surely he must have his computer problems settled by now.). But there are several write-ups from the hunt here that I think show the fun and excitement that we had last year. Great people, great fun, great country, great experience!!!

Oh yeah was it fun !
