As of January 2009, Zwinger vom Schwarzen Seil will begin serving you from Athens, Tennessee.   Over the years, two of my sisters and then my parents have expatriated from Ohio to Eastern Tennessee.  I have been considereing moving closer for a while, but my father's health and the Post 9/11 GI bill being signed into law have finally tipped the scales in that direction.  As with any of life's big decisions, there are plusses and minuses.  I'll definitely miss New England's four seasons, but I won't miss the fuel oil bill.  My nine year old is excited with the fact that he doesn't have to wait until he's twelve to hunt legally.  Waterfowling in the area isn't going to be the same, and access to water for training will be a little tougher, but I'm now alot closer to the Mississippi  flyway.  Also several counties around me allow hog hunting with dogs.
