Most of the hunting was done with the Troy X5 backed with the Whites 6000 XL Pro. I have never sold any of my finds including clad its inspiring to look at sort of fuel for the next hunt. This year for the first time I kept a log of hunting more because I wanted to see what was real and not a guess as I retire in 2010 and want a feel for what I can do with more time. Now I do have to say that the clad alone weighs about 50-60 pounds and once retired I plan on traveling full time in a motorhome A class hunting along the way around both Canada and the USA so may not have room to pack all that clad around.

I hope you were wearing gloves when you found the razor!

Thanks for the compliments guy's Dan

I'd say you did awesome considering you are not retired. I am retired and I only hunted for about half that amount of time and only found about 40% of your totals. I have a back up hobby called golf .
You'll have alot more options of hunt sites when you hit the road after retirement in 2010
