Coop,
Thanks for the post. I agree with all of it. I've been out there a couple
of times and visited by our brown buddies more than once. The point I was
trying to make (tongue in cheek) was that sometimes the discussion about
smellables goes well beyond he advisors guide and approaches hysteria about
what is a smellable. It seems from some of the discussions we have had in
this group that sometimes the rangers crank it up a notch well beyond the
policy outlined in the advisors guide. There is a upside limit to being
overly cautious beyond which you become paralyzed.
BTW, I've used your guide for years and to me that is THE resource.
