Congrats Craig. Ironically the first true pair of Sharpies I managed to bag was about 3 miles S of Wood. I would guess that to have been around 2007 or so. Using a Win. M-21 20 gauge at the time. I can still see that pair cutting across the prairie grass. Pretty country out there.

Excellent, Craig! A bucket list item?

BTW, I notice what appear to be snake gaiters. Have you encountered any rattlesnakes? Any dog/snake episodes?

Continued good luck on your trip.

We or the dogs have never encountered rattlesnakes, but they are around in September we are told.
