I prefer to do that myself, acknowledges great service. Thanks Jerry
Looking forward to it Kevin, thanks Jerry
Not too interested in turkeys LOL, used to feed them on my patio in town, but eagles and Big Horns are special and will be looking out for them,...
Rick, did you tip before or after the run? Should be to reward service butthink it could also be a motivator. Jerry
