Thanks for the nice comments, it really was an exciting adventure. I must say I'm proud of my boys as when I told them we were going and we would be skipping vacation for the 2 years prior to save money for this one, they began wanting to work and share their part of the load. Of course, mama and I carried the majority but these 2 fellas hand picked nearly 900# of pecans and sold for themsleves, picked rocks and weeds from friends flowerbeds and gardens, put back every $ they received for christmas, birthdays, and report cards. So they were able to cover their own trophy fees and both take pride in that fact, as they should. But more importantly, they both learned that if you are willing to put in the work required anything is attainable. I am truly blessed to have such a great wife and sons.
