WELLLLLLLLLLLLL SUGAR POPS Steve, I was so hoping to see some good pics. Cool story though, thoroughly enjoyed hearing your adventure except the broken door part.
Sounds like you might need to hide a field cam close by, then post some pictures. Or if you'd like to sit and watch for action, I'm not busy and would join you for some good chyts and giggles.
Get back out there neighbor, the next heart thumper may not be a spike.
Good luck.
