Coordinator notes: Yes Christian...I think a new late date. I don't have an up-to-date list as such. Thru 2002 (Ray Stanford) I show Oct. 19 (Crowley County). I think there are a few later than that but not quite that late in the season...I'd have to check. Looks like a really nice female too! Mike
