2011 Spring hunt with Michelob

[DrBobinMO]

As many of you know, my cousin Mike (aka Michelob) and I try to get together twice a year for a week of hunting. He comes down to Missouri in the spring and I go to Minnesota in the fall. Well, I know it isn't officially spring yet, but cabin fever was just too strong this year for Michelob so we moved up the hunt a few weeks and had the week of 2/27 thru 3/6 this year.

As always we had a great time and found our fair share of goodies. We got in several hunts with Ray-Mo and a hunt with several members of my local club. We were both lucky enough to find silver, injuns, old nickles, and a few Civil War bullets. We even got to spend a little time at the gun range to Mike could shoot my AR rifle with he sure did enjoy.

Here is a pic of my silver for the week

In our contest we have, a couple of those did not count because I found them while waiting for his plane to arrive. The official count was Bob--15 and Mike--17. He beat me by only 2 silvers but crushed me in quality. Hopefully he will be able to post his finds today so I wont spoil them here although there is a sneak peak in the video below

you had an E-Trac now? Do you still put some miles on an SE?

I would slip "Cousin' Mike" the shaft and count those two you found while waiting for his plane to arrive.

That way you would be tied with him in total

Nice huntin'

Yes, Bryce, I am using an E-trac now but figured I would post here since several members here including you have been part of past bi-annual hunts with us.



And Guvner, I know exactly what you mean and am itching for that day to come

Bob,

That is one great video, obviously a lot of work. For those of us stuck behind a desk a video like this is the closest thing to a hunt we can enjoy.

Thanks for making my day and congrats on the killer finds.
