Belated 'Last Friday' Post

Well. The ERes is gi-noromous. The fullest I've ever seen it in my 4 years of tromping around the range. Thus, dialing in the basking trap is going to be key in catching turts 4 and 7 (both of whom need their tags replaced). So, with the difficulty of retagging this year, I took advantage of an opportunistic snag last friday to Tag Turt #8 (male). He was one of the boys whose tags failed at the beginning of last season, so hopefully, this year I've done a better job of 'bombproofing' his tag. I also retagged Turt 5, who is still lurking in OM (wtf?).
