So how did your hunt turn out? I hope you had a good hunt. At any rate, I wished I was there, I would have spent someday in the area with you for sure, although I am thinking my big archery tag will be for 201.
It is just another example of his character, and the quality of person he really is, it is one thing to tell a fib, have a 19" rainbow become 21". But to have someone counting on you and not come through, it is unreal. I also saw someone who was supposed "pay to hunt with him." I believe that person was left out to dry as well....
