    pillow ticking question

    forget Walley world and go to a fabric shop,and take your mic.,preferbly a disc mic. Fabric shops where I live have a good selection,at least the last time I bought some.If yor not sure of what thickness you need get small samples and try them out,then buy a good supply.

    Hunting Swap

    I had a "squirrel camp" last Sept. with a couple of friends and had a great time. I have access to about 500 acres that has good population of reds and greys. I will probably have another camp this fall,and a few more people would be great.
