Yeah, I'm working on batches of smoked salmon right now. My Alaskan buddies have access to commerical vacuum packing and flash freezing, so we put lots of fillets up for the trip home.

As embarrassed as I am to admit it, the boys drew deer tags for different areas (one got 1st choice, one got 2nd). Both areas are close, so it should be OK.

The younger boy just keeps pointing to my biggest bull rack on the wall and telling his friends that he's gonna get one that size (I have to keep reminding him that he drew a cow tag).

I'd definitely like to take you up on the grouse/scouting trip with the boys.

We'll talk soon.
