I am just a beginner to all of this.... was a bird hunter most of my life. I really enjoy this forum, maybe more than the double gun side.... as bad as things may be in the economy, (and politics), Things have been okay for me.

I am thankful for:
I have this form to learn from....
My son is home safe from Iraq,
I have a beautiful grand-baby,
I got drawn for and got my first Elk (a cow Tule Elk in CA, a lucky draw),
My disabled Daughter is learning to play power soccer in her wheel chair and close to graduating from Berkeley.....
I haven't had to let go any more employees this year....
and I'll bet I can go one for a long time.

Merry Christmas to all, happy Hanukkah, and whatever else. Wishing all a prosperous and HEALTHY New Year

Jerry
