    WesternMA/Northern CT

    Most everyone knows me here...I've been a bit quiet this "season"....Which god knows is NOT like me!....Had a bout with Lyme Disease and torn knee cartilidge, and a new baby...so not having time, and not being able...I haven't hunted much this whole year.

    Well, now that I'm back a bit..I've lost my 2 regular hunting buddies due to schedule conflicts (Al and Tim)
    So, I'm looking for a regular hunting partner in the Western MA/northern Ct area...I'm in Westfield, MA

    I'm not a newbie, and I've posted some good finds...when people can see then (I bought a new phone..so I have a new camera_

    But I am looking for someone who is serious about this "lifestyle"

    Right now, I'm not fully recovered, so I can't go on long hikes into the woods....yet

    basically, I need someone to call and harass me to get out...and it gives me an excuse to the wife

    I'm only available on the weekends, so Sat/Sun hunts.

    Shoot me a PM if interested

    Glad you are getting back out Rob, it's tough being on the sidelines I'd like to be your alibi for the wife but I'm in Kentucky. Good luck.

    Rob, you are alive, but I'm not buying the line about getting a new camera phone Glad you are feeling somewhat better. That is good news. I can do a Saturday hunt every once in a while.

    Let me chime in here. I am one of Rob's past detecting buddies. Due to schedule changes we can no longer hunt together except on some holidays. I also am going in for my second hip replacement in August. I have had a lot of fun hunting with both Rob and Tim, with good finds made by all. So rest assured that your day will not be boring. He is a serious detector and as soon as he heals himself, he will be ready at 5am, might even cook ya breakfast.

    Please offer to take pictures of his finds for him.....

    Don't worry people, Rob doesn't bite... I met him and Al in New Hampshire and I would have to confess they are great people and Rob seems full of enthusiasm. Should be a great hunting partner

    It is possible for me to get out weekends. I am off work on weekends. The gf works on Saturdays so as long as I am not having to get up at 6a every weekend I can be around. I live close to the Mass border, and I have looked for very few places to hunt in MA.

    I didn't jump in only because I've only owned a detector a whopping 2 months, and have no properties or access to offer in exchange yet.

    Spending all day in the woods isn't an issue (unless it's a swamp. not geared for that yet), and any hobby I latch onto I tend to get a bit serious with. My closet packed with ice fishing gear is a good example.
    Saturday & Sunday are my 2 days off as well. I wont pester you Rob, but if you have no one else to swing with, and don't mind a noob, shoot me a PM. I have 2 cameras if you count my phone.

    I loved when Al said it. To me it is about finding the good stuff. MDing is exercise and gets me out in the nice weather, but it's the thrill of finds that make me get out. I could always bring the mountain bike out for exercise, fresh air, and being outdoors. The only thing is that MDing usually gives someone to get out with vs biking (which I know someone that does...but only one).
