Curses: Limit is only 3 ea., and even though we waited for good shooting light before starting, the hunt was over way to soon
Kudos: David brought his boat grill and after the hunt, we picked up all traces of our presence, got out of the area, and found a sunny riverbank to cook some link sausage. Coupled it with light bread, yellow mustard, and a cold beer, and were all smiles. Felt good to watch those Woodies eat us up, never gets old!
