Dear Roger, Dan, Volker and H=E4kan,
Thanks for your kind comments, I'm glad you enjoyed this, it was fun to mak=
e also. H=E4kan, I am glad your interpretation of those final snorts matche=
s mine, it was such a powerful sound I just felt it was time to move on. Af=
terwards I almost wondered if I had imagined it. Must be even more impressi=
ve when something the size of an elk makes it. Volker, if you are serious a=
bout recording there contact me off line for the location. Thanks all.
Chris
