Rare workday for me - away from all internet access for about 7 hours while I prepped and conducted a training seminar. Imagine my surprise when I hit the Zone and saw 30-something new posts on this one subject. I felt like I had been away a week!

I can't recall this much traffic on a single thread in such a short time since . . . well, that thread which shall remain nameless and locked. But it got us through the winter!

For the record, I have no opinion as bear vaults are pretty rare in the South and never mandated (at least not that I'm aware of). Our bears are pretty much wussies. Smokies NP and environs house the only bears in the South to be taken seriously.
