Out of hibernation/ First hunt of year first silver

BandB1 · Feb 8, 2009

Hello SE Michigan here.

Woke up early sunday, sometime in the noon, and saw my shadow, which has no

significance whatsoever. But I did see that a goodly amount of snow had

melted leaving lots of bare spots. Got out my digger and went to the front

yard, stuck it in the ground and decided to go mding. Of course I was

halfway to my silver site at the metropark before I realize I left my digger at home

thought about going back for it, but decided to use my spare. My spare digger

has a wider blade ( but also a serrated edge for roots), but worked out all right.

My silver site was almost completely free of snow. The digging was mostly

easy, much of the soil only slightly damp, sometimes it was mudding

w/ standing water, and my last hole I dug or tried to was frozen solid, I plan

on getting that target soon.

Hope you all could get out, or are able to these next days.
Good luck, HH.
