Hey Rascal, Look up my truck pictures under DML PICTURES section K, I was
carrying a dbl bld 12, at sunset while hunting moose, a bobcat or lynx was
warming itself on rock beside the narrow trail, It made a noise,
My heart came close to seizing, as it was right beside me, Might as well
have been a Mountain Lion.
Good News, No Toilet Paper required :-)

Jimmy Knox, Kentucky sounds Good when the time comes.
