    Bob,
    	Good luck to you and your Family. Sorry to see you go. Your
    stories taught me a lot and entertained. Hope everything works
    out for the best. Tight lines, straight arrows, hit em' hard...
    
    					Butch

    	Good Luck Bob,
      Hope you keep hitting bullseyes! Keep your powder dry!
    						Bret

    Snapperhead,
    
    It has really been great shooting the bull with you.  Your stories are
    almost always funny, and I always enjoyed the "ribbing".
    
    Keep in touch, if you come up this fall, I'll take you bowhunting for
    some of those Hillbilly bucks.  I have a bow I need to break in.
    
    
    Good Luck,
    Wess

    Bob,
    
    You are a riot. You and Wess had me in stitches more than once. Don't
    know what this file will be without it. Thanks for the guide reference
    a couple of years ago. Had a great day on the water!
    
    Good luck hunting and fishing. Who knows you may see my ugly mug down
    there sometime. My sister wants me to move down that way but I still
    love Maine too much. They don't have poisonus snakes up there, just
    black flies that will make you anemic after a day of salmon/trout
    fishing.
    
    Tight lines and True Shots
    Bob M�

    Best of luck, Bob.  Enjoy your "free" time.
    
    Mark.

    Bob,
    
     Take care in whatever you do after DEC.  We'll miss you in the file.
    If you come up this way let us know and mayby we can arrange a quick
    hunt.
    
    Jeff

    I came in today to pack my cube of personal items, of which some of
    them have been some hunting pics people sent to me.  This brings up a
    dilemna.  I have the hunting photo album.  I need to send it to
    someone.  Pipe up now, for if no one wants it, I will give it to Red. 
    Red sits about 70 yds from me.  It has been great talking to you guys.
    
    Thanks for the words of encouragement.  Since being laid off Tuesday
    morning, I have gone trout fishing twice, played 9 holes of golf, and
    am scheduled to play 18 holes tommorrow morning.  I will be here in the
    afternoon to turn in my badge, say some final goodbyes, and party with
    some of the best people I have ever worked with.
    
    Sincerely, I will miss you all.
    
    And that's the way it is, Thursday, June 2nd.........
    
    I'm Bob Harris
    
    
    
    Good night

    Red's got the photo album now.  I bought my house on the other side of
    town.  Played golf this morning.  Had a couple beers.  Came in to turn
    in my badge.  Now it's off to the cantina to share some good times with
    old friends.
    
    See you in the great woodlands in the sky......
    
    Bob
    

    	Bob leaves and it turns into a ghostfile. Three months to bow
    season in N.H. ;^)
    							Bret

    Bret,
    
    I was thinking the same thing.  I guess we all have to go on with it.
    
    
    I am heading back to the motherland this weekend to do a little frog
    giggin'!  I haven't been in 3 or so years and am itching to give a 
    few a haircut with my .22 short hollowpoints.  My wife even wants to
    go!  That's alot better than taking her to a movie.
    
    I can't wait until bow season either!!!!!
    
    Wess

    Guys,
    
    Did I tell you that I can't wait until bow season?
    
    
    
    Wess

    	Wess,
      I know I can't wait for bow season either. I am currently cutting and
    splitting red oak just to keep my arm strength, it's not because I need
    the wood to heat my house this this winter ;^). I will soon be putting
    up a tree stand next to my house with a target so I can practice ;^).
    Not that I need it ;^). I am getting itchy to go back into the woods. I
    am still thinking of putting a tree stand on my upstairs back deck
    after having an 8 pointer run by me in my back yard last December. ;^)
    And I still need to reload for deer season. Too much to do and not
    enough time. :^(  Deer season just doesn't come fast enough. :^(
    							Bret

    Bret,
    
    I just moved to Ohio and the area I moved into...well...I think I may	
    be the only redneck in the area.  I started to get my bow out last
    weekend and remembered that I left my target with my buddy back in Ky.	
    I am going back to Ky this weekend, so I will pick it up.  I can't wait
    to see how it will go over with the neighbors.  I can tell you one
    thing, If I had a nice buck coming in the back yard, I would pop him on
    the first day of season with them watching.  Then I would tell them to
    fire the grill up.
    
    Wess
    

    Wess,
      Isn't that the state where Metzenbaum is from? They have some nice
    big corn fed bucks from Ohio, so I am told anyhow. Do you have
    neighbors all around you? How come you left Kentucky? The only neighbor
    I see alot is my brother and he has a brand new grill ;^). He and I go
    hunting alot together so there is no problem there. On the other side
    of me but with about 8 acres between us is my parents house. Last Dec.
    I didn't have any indoor plumbing yet (still in the middle of building
    my house) so I went out back to relieve myself. Just before I stepped
    outback I had thought to myself to bring my bow or my camera (there was
    still 5 days of bow season left) but pressure was mounting so I
    couldn't wait the xtra few minutes to grab that stuff. The rest is
    history. My wife says they wait for me to get into position like that.
    :^(  That sucker came within 20 feet of me and didn't even know I was
    there until he got downwind of me. They still come within 50 yards of
    my house. I just hope they don't get to cozy and find my garden. Also
    had a Moose come through in January. Speaking of Moose anyone put in
    for the N.H. Moose lottery? The Drawing should be coming up. I is
    getting itchy. 
    							Bret

    
    
     The lottery drawing is friday of this week, I will have to wait till
    monday night to find out if any of us get drawn. it would really be
    nice to get picked. I would probably bowhunt with a 30-06 as backup, in
    case I cant get the proper shot with the bow.
    
                                               Lee
    

    Bret,
    
    I moved for Digital, just before the stuff hit the fan....I wake up
    screaming about 3 times a week.
    
    Neighbors....All around, I have a 1/2acre lot that's it.  
    
    It is interesting finding new places to go where you don't know anyone.
    I have rounded up several places to go fishing, I plan on driving back
    to Ky and hunting most of the time.  A guy in the office lets me hunt
    on his farm here in Ohio, but it is 80miles out.  Hopefully I can round
    up something within 30minutes for the 1/2 day hunts. 
    
    As far as big bucks in Ohio.  They took 2 off of the guys farm that
    lets me hunt about 6 years ago that were nice.  The last couple of
    years only young basket racks.  They don't have any corn planted, but I
    am trying to get them to plant some, we'll see.
    
    Wess

    	I guess yesterday was one of them days I should have taken off just
    for my camera's sake. My wife gets a call at 10:30AM from my Mom, we
    live next door to each other with about 100 yards of red oak between
    us, and tells her that a deer just crossed their front yard and is
    coming to my house. It never did show, but if I was home I would have
    been in camo clothes with camera in hand. Bummer, they even show up
    when I am not even there ;^). I guess there is next time, but I am sick
    of saying that. :^0 .
    							Bret

    Well I guess I may be able to get that deer in my camera frame
    afterall. I was told today that I am a "high" risk and next friday will
    be my last day. I will miss hunting notes and and firearms notes and
    the scores of people that are associated with them as well. I will hold
    my head high. Maybe 15 1/2 years is too long in one place anyways. ;^)
    Good luck to all. 
    							Bret

    Bret,
    
    Good luck and good hunting.  At least they won't cancel bow season on
    us!
    
    
    Wess

    And they better not cancel any hunting season on us or I will really
    get mad! I have been fortunate to meet some great people here in the
    time I have spent with dec (15 and 1/2 years). That is truly one thing
    I will miss the most. Even though some of you I have never see
    (couretsy of notesfiles) I feel as though each and everyone of you was
    my brothers and sisters. Please take care all. I am leaving happy.
    Besides I may already have another job lined up. That didn't take long
    did it. ;^) I hope to see all of you in the woods someday. Good luck!
    							Bret

     
    Bret!
    
       Good Luck and all that stuff.
    
    I will miss you and talking about hunting.
     also the notes an information on gun right's and updates of interest
    to all hunting and gun owner.
    
    you friend and excoworker
    
    Pappy
    
    

    Well folks, the time is almost here!  As of 10/3, I will no longer be
    an employee of Digital.  I can honestly say I won't miss Digital, only
    the people.  I've spent almost 11 years here.  I'll difinitely miss 
    the hunting, fishing, and firearms files.  Hope that all of you have a
    succesfull season and shoot straight.  Keep your head up, the wind in
    your favor, move slow, let others do the "pushing", and keep your eyes
    and ears open. I wish you all the best.
    
    Jeff Amberson

    Jeff,
    
    Thanks again for your help in the past and good luck to ya.  You'll
    certainly be missed around here.
    
    Mark,
    

    Best of luck, Jeff.  Enjoyed working "with" you back in AKO2.
    
    Mark.

    Happy hunting, Jeff. I'll miss your notes.

    We're not sure but tomorrow will most likely be the last day
    Quantumized employees will have access to notes.  I hope all of you have a 
    happy and prosperous life.  I wish you and Digital nothing but the
    best.  Keep plugging away, if the recent stock rise is any indication
    the company is on the way back up.  Enjoy your times in the field and 
    times with your families.  If I manage to get lucky and score this
    year, I'll give a call to one of you so you can put it in .270!  Take 
    care and enjoy life.

    Jeff,
    
    Good luck at Quantum and in the field. The notes file won't
    be the same without all advice afield and successful hunting
    reports.
