Mine was over before it started. I didn't even get to do any fishing in 2006. My year ended in back surgery with back surgery in October, then an additional Caudil spinal epidural the week of Christmas.

I've been living 2006 vicariously through the writings of Roy Chapman Andrews, Patrick Steward, Andelino Pires and others. But, I would like to read the adventures of Nitro Express members that had North American hunts this year. How did your hunting season turn out this year?

We have read about Adam's great Stone sheep hunt, even if he did cheat by riding horses into the high country and using help pack the animal out. Eh, Canadians!

Okay, I'm envious, Adam. Not only of your fantastic Stone sheep, but of being able to use horses. The only beast of burden I get to use is, well, me!

Anyone else?
