Now I see why you wanted to leave the hill so early Sunday haha. Congrats on the half! Did you cover the rest of the area we didn't get to or is there still some left to hunt?

 

[SWAMP HAWK]

I think it is hard to do a full sweep upon that part of the hill because of the layout. There has got to be more.

Great hunting pays off from skill, diligence and part mountain goat. I never said it was hunted out. My pleasure is seeing your pleasure. Keep it up.

That lighter is cool. Minnie Minoso was one of two players to play in 5 different decades. He started in the 40's and played in 1980. Great finds!!! How deep was that half? That dirt on those hills is so loose, just wondering.

 

[SWAMP HAWK]

The half was by a small stump. about two inches down. they had brought a thrasher through that brush and mabie even pushed a few inches of dirt off the top. Although the ground conditions are crap good finds just were not that deep. but the loose dirt AGAIN is a large danger. watch your footing for every inch and wear climbing boots.
