Guys, we're going to have a great episode today. We're going to talk a lot about Zeiss. We're going to answer a bunch of listeners questions.

On the way over here, I got a question from a listener and he was basically saying that the December Coosdear hunt starts for him tomorrow and I know there's a lot of guys that listen that the Cooster seasons are kicking off you, we've had the October seasons, the

due time, and then when the hunting gets really, really good after Christmas.

It seems that there's Christmas obligations, New Year's obligations, all those sorts of things, but they've

kind of burned their time early.
