I realize that it's not a big deal, but it's another step closer for me: this weekend I took my hunter safety training, and passed the test (96 out of 100)! I'll pick up the license sometime this week, get serious about selecting a rifle for boars, and then join the local club for some quality practice time. I hope to be in the field before the end of Spring.
Thanks for all the help, everyone...you guys helped make this weekend a breeze!
