lets take a moment to honor Jack Hitt, neighbor of richard prum, and all the other Yale skeptics that who shed some lux on this veritas.
While I understand there are many reasons to not believe that IWB still exist. I have to believe it does. I saw one in November of 2003 while sitting on a deer stand. I was hunting near Stephens, Arkansas. Stephens is not located in the so called "Big Woods" of Arkansas; rather it is in the Southwest part of the state. In reality the woods in the Stephens are much bigger than those of the Cache and are made up mostly of pine. I watch a female IBW for 10 minutes through a 14 power scope. I didn't report the sighting because as I told my hunting buddy, it couldn't have been an IWB because there extinct.
