    Bait site. To thick in the spruce wilderness for serious spot and stalk, that would be by chance in my area. Around here you would have to go to the tree/brush line and above for a good glass, spot and stalk.

    The owner of a company I used to work for used to call me 3x...probably bought me 100 shirts in that size! Of course he was cheap and some of the online shirts bought from third world countries wouldn't fit a 110 pond woman.
