Being from a family on my mothers side with 13 siblings, 1 of them was an avid prospector whom i recieved the bug from many moons ago. In the last couple of years since the fish and wildlife has taken 80% of my opportunities away due to mis-management, tribal and commercial overharvest which has reduced the fish and wildlife stocks to threatened or endangered status, I was forced to seek other hobbies. Now I see new problems with the prospecting community such as no access to OUR lands, fish and wildlife habitat restrictions, etc. Hence while searching for and looking at many sites, I stumbled across TNET which provided a great array of information on just about everthing That I was interested in and I became a frequent user, Thanks for the great site and ALL OF THE GREAT PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS WEB SITE.
