Neat write up. That whole area was my possum block back in 1979/80. Big big coons up on the snow line. $25 each sort of size. Those deep pools prevented me getting the old XR500 up from Center...

Bullshitting? Are you for real? And helicopter operations always using the meat? Are you aware of the current venison economics? Thousands of deer are being shot to waste right now, because the...
