Hey BJ,
No I didnt know the back story, I just kept skimming through the threads and seeing "BJ for you..." and first reaction is, what kinda forum is this? lol.... Childish I know.
Knowing the backstory on that is pretty cool though, lots of respect for anyone that finds the positive in their life when they may have a lot of reason to be down. Your buddy that goes out with him sounds like a great guy. I had heard from a friend who grew up in PA that ground hog hunting was a big thing over there. He would shoot them and then give them to his neighbor that would grill them up. I've considered trying that here, we have yellow belly marmots and I dont see a reason not to try them, but there is an outbreak of black plague in the prarie dogs and other animals that live in close relation to them. So I've been hesitant to even touch dead small game in the area. Sorry a bit off topic, just came to mind.
