I was about to apoligize to skeeter because I left out a somewhat important fact. I'm green color blind. I don't know if that helped me pick up a blood trail or not. I don't know if the blue filter and grass combination spectrum would look different to my eyes. Like Joe Friday I only try to report the facts.

Hey Swift

I was taught in the military that the sign of a good supervisor is follow up.

skeeter, we got to get together for a hunting trip. Between you and I we'd have everybody within 40 miles laughing. Awhile back I was out chasing 'yotes and I like to hunt by Cross Country skiing. I have a sling similar to the ones the Biathlon skiers use for my rifle. I parked my truck and took off optimisticly looking to have some fun. Wrong rancid bacon breath. I got a couple miles away and had to cross a fence. Piece of cake right? Took off my skis, stood the rifle against the fence and started my body through the fence and felt this stabbing in my back. Tried to straighten up and had a back spasm. Couldn't straighten up to save my soul. Not only that my left leg felt paralyzed. Had some rope in my backpack secured the skis, stapped on the rifle and went back to the truck on my hands and knees. Certainly an enjoyable hunt. And like a true dumbie I have a standard transmission so actuating the accelerator, brake and clutch pedal with my right foot was realy fun. 52 miles of that crap was about all I could stand to enjoy.

I also have a Cell Phone. I carry two extra batteries as close to my body as possible to keep them warm. I also have a CB in the truck, just in case.

Any way we would be an adventure in the field, now all we need is a squadron of paramedics to try and keep up with us.

Have a good one bud and keep your six covered.

Best wishes, Bill
