I remember the same! Except I had borrowed her SUV as my truck project was still a project she said as long as I didn't put dead things in her car all good. I figured If I got a deer I'd hang it in the bush come back and borrow the neighbours truck to go fetch it. Turned out I shot a spike which I found I could easily lift to the roof racks ON her car and not waste a trip. Which she saw jaw agape as I pulled in to the driveway trail of blood down the rear window. I said what? I didn't put it in the car. Crickets...... Anyways when she finally talked to me the next day she was quite happy for me :mrgreen:

Congrats on your success.
Hope to see more in the future!

Great Job, and great writeup!!!
the ever present question..... "Do I draw fast or wait!"
