Apparently (and maybe you'll know more about what I'm talking about than I do), Steve won some kind of lotto where he gets to deer hunt "black powder" on some government land before the season even starts! That's what he was doing with Matthew...scoping out the land...when Matthew got the ticks on him.
Permanone... spray it on yer clothes... lasts two weeks... werks great...
congrats to Steve... those special hunts can pay off big... we gets 11 tags per family member bein' landowners...
