Add my vote for the "plastic bag trick" how-to thread!

For those of you that think hogs don't like -40 weather, remember they have wild hogs in the forests north of St. Petersburg, Russia!!  True, I'm sure they don't like it, but they can survive it! 

I can't wait for this bow to arrive, Bill.  Thanks.    >:D
