I too was somewhat taken aback by Humpty's post. I see this forum as both a place to share our collective knowledge and experiences in our common interest area.

I appreciate the pictures of other's adventures whether it's just out to a miserable public area in the neighborhood or one of Dig's Africa exrtavaganzas. Both make me feel included rather than left out.

I hope I just misunderstood Humpty's post. However, I can assure him that the experience of raising a son is a fair trade for all the hunting trips he might miss!...Geo
