    1st oldie of the year, a key date:crazy:

    I obtained permission to hunt a field where a one room country school house once stood. The rains finally quit long enough for me to go check it out. I was a little disappointed when I pulled up and saw it was planted in alfalfa that was 8'' to 10'', It was tuff swinging but I got that...

    EMI Question

    Last fall I hunted a park that I'm able to get to a couple times a year. I chose to hunt the edge of the property that backs up to some houses. Along the back runs a low hanging power line, I found several nice keepers that day. Fast forward to last Friday, I returned to the park and thought I'd...

    5 Indian Spill !

    Took a little road trip to go visit my grandpa, and of course do some hunting. Gramps house was built in the 1890's, I've searched his yard dozens of times and dont know how I missed this 5 indian head spill. It had a nail on top of them so maybe it threw me off, who knows. Dates are 1879, 1889...

    Hey Moderators...Have a ? about ads

    I don't know if this has ever been brought up before, but what do you guys think about separate categories for items for sale and wanted. Seems to me that the wanted threads kinda over take the for sale sometimes. Thanks for your input.
