Chieftan,

Congrats on a good year.

I have not weighed mine yet and a lot of the nicer roots I have dug the last 2-3 trips I have planted in my seed producing bed.

Our seng here is just about done to. It has really gone down hill quickly here the past week. In the past 5-6 weeks I think we have had about 1/4 inch of rain - very bad dry here.

I am with you on that price - the higher the better.

Chieftain good dig especialy seeing that they where fell and you had to realy look close for them.Congrats my friend on another good year.

I am thinking that the Mountian people have about or around 2 weeks left tops.
Thenit will be gone here as well.

I believe that I will have the 10 lb after all this season.

In the past 5 days all but today I have been able to go and I will get to go back tomorrow.

I will most likely call it a season in 3 to 4 more hunts even if it is still standing that should put me at my yearly goal or a little over.

G/L in the stands hope you kill a monster this season,,by the way,hows that step son doing is he hopeing to kill a giant this year ?
