I feel like a scumbag for hoping the ash beetle borer helps revive the grouse population. One of my deer stand locations on my property has shown a huge increase in undergrowth since it was primarily a 2 acre ash stand and now with the added sunlight things are changing. Of course, hunting with rotting and splitting 60ft ash trees is not the safest thing but I wonder if that changes the equation at all.

Forecast(s) be damned; I'm going anyway! See you up near Bowman Lake, Andy!

Yes indeed Kevin! Best to you and your family. Sorry I missed folks at Mikes, but nice seeing you at Binghamton.

"Endurance sport'---you're darn right Andy! Legs kill birds!

Maybe that's why I miss Harold. I've been trying to shoot them with a gun!
