I do need to catch up. I laid around the house all day Monday enjoying a relaxing birthday. It's going to be a long day today at work. I had a great time, Pappy and just got a line on some big ones yesterday. Have to take a two week break on them and then I'll go after one till Nov 1st. Kathie and I are glad you got to come down and also didn't go home empty handed.

Steve, I've been looking at that bow stave you gave me...  I need to back it.  I was thinking about using a cable for the back.  What do you think?

Pappy, great pictures!!  I love shooting at water critters!  I'm very jealous.  :-\

Good friends, good times.  The two gators were the cherries on top!  And mighty nice looking cherries.  Yup, proof once again, life IS good.

Is there a build along for alligator tailskin quivers coming soon?

Looked like a great time Mark. What are you going to do with the hides. Make some boots or moccasins. Back quiver would be cool.  BDan
