Got out this morning with Air Force Mike for what was a bitterly cold but rewarding hunt. We shared the experience of low 30 temps, winds gusting to 40 miles per hour being topped off with sleet. We stuck it out for about 2 and a half hours before either of us could feel our hands and called it a day. We hunted the ridges of the school with the hope that it would protect us from the winds. Well that just did not happen. Still it was great to get out again with Mike and I'm sure we will go back again when better conditions allow. Even with the elements treating us so badly we did some ground damage. I managed $3.68 in clad, 6 Wheat's and 3 Silvers. Got a "42s" Merc, along with 2 Rosie's. A "53" and a "64". I am now up to 10 Silver Coins for the year. HH, Jack

I will have to thaw out and get mine cleaned up, not real totals as of yet as I needed to get into work for a few hours afterwards but will post for sure. I know I have at least one silver on the day. Thanks again for the great hunt ...weather? well that was least to be desired:no:. Had a blast for sure and thank you. :D

Well Dan I am also looking forward to better conditions and hopefully bigger days. This hunt has will stay with me for a bit now. Don't think I'll hunt these conditions again any time soon.

OK I'll help you out...

When it gets that cold, they are not called tents... "Shanty" is the word we use when it gets real nice out...:D

Jack even with the rough conditions this year sounds like your off to a good start. Congrats on the silvers.
