Ch8 Turkey Hunts Complete v1 3/12/05 (contains DB also).  It works, but I need to do more testing and add some comments.  I'll do that later.  Right now, I am glad it works! I had a few workarounds to avoid problems.  It will still bomb if you add a record using a state not in the states table, but I can fix that by checking the drop down list.
