[QUOTE="41mag, post: 154109, member: 3804"] Spino, Your right on the rian, and we are hoping the same thing up in E.Tx. I let a great one pass last year in the hopes that he would put on the mass this coming year. Hopefully I won't be disappointed. Either way he should be maxed out in years and growth for the area and if we cross paths we'll find out just how nice he is. Stxhunter, As for the feeders, yep, been there done that too many times.
