Rainman I believe there is a Bass Pro up near Buffalo a couple hours away from me, but I have never been there. Cabela's in Wheeling WVA is a 3 hour ride from here as well. I make most all my own recipes from scratch, I do however use a pre-mixed bologna spice kit, I haven't had any that tops it.

Blair I have always heard the deer up there are something special, sure would be nice to see for myself one day. I can understand the economy being a bad hit, those hunts cost upwards of $4K as I understand, more if you want to hunt with Jim Shockey, you know him???
