Hi Dan,

How life in SLC? No offense but, being an academic, I am a real pro at the fallacy of "appealing to authority". That said, I think Art Alphins relative authority in this conversation (given the old timers cited above) is pretty much nil. Hey, I got an idea...lets go to Zim in the next year! I'll shoot an ele with my eight bore and we'll see how she works? If the bull dies....you (or Art Alphin

) can pay the trophy fee.

Seriously, hope all is well with you in "happy valley" Honestly, when I visit SLC, I sometimes wonder whether its your locale or mine that has the most religious fanatics.

Anyway, I should be there around mid December if you'd like to get together and shoot.

Best,

John
