yes i read the forum constantly and know you, or at least someone u know has property in tx. and yes know you recently wanted to sell ur old mark, aquire a gen 2 mark but have been given another chace on a gen1. i bought a 97 black on black and love it! that being said... how much property do ya have and i know a few people around here (midwest) that wanna hunt wild hogs... if ya have enuf property, ya have a commodity! so to cut to short, a 97 gen 2 trade for a pig hunt? already have a hunt set up for this year in the whitehouse/tyler area of texas on 2700 acres for free for 6 people (me included) but for future reference hunting property may be a bargining chip...
