Moosie, yea it rained that day I dropped by BT's house. Too late is right. would have saved me a lot of crusty dusty boogers for sure, that place was dry.
NHY. the duct tape worked, i got it on as luggage but it cost me a flat $100.
total bill for checked baggage 1 elk head, 3 coolers, one over the 50LB limit , $310
But hey, i am proud to say i lost NO meat in a 90 degree day shot at 2PM solo quartering job. not bad for an old man.
I am sending all my other gear home UPS.
