Only a twenty minute wait would not be near long enough. Then again, a climbing deer stand is much more comfortable to wait for the main attraction.
>>From somewhere in the Ozarks, but I don't know where because I don't own a compass, my USGS map just blew away in the wind, and my desktop computer is too big and heavy to carry with me. But if I remember my Boy Scout training, moss grows on the wrong side of the trees, doesn't it? Charlie Dischinger - Somewhere in the Ozarks.
