Tough for us newbs to find a decent target that is.
Today I went to a property that I know was hunted 3 days in a row by a local with an E-trac. I've met the guy before and he doesn't work due to disability and has plenty of free time to hunt. So far he's previously hunted most of the properties I've gotten permission for. This particular h/o advised that the local found a couple of Indian Heads and Wheats, but that was all. Having this intel, I knew I would have to work it slow. In fact, I spent two hours and covered only half the front yard. Being pretty new at this, I've adopted the "dig it all" approach and will dig any repeatable signal that's not grunty with iron. Now I've never used an E-trac, but seems to me there sure were a lot of non coin targets left in the ground. I think it's clear that Mr. E-trac is just cherry picking the easy coins,,, which in my mind means that he really isn't chasing iffy signals. This gives me hope that he is not real thorough and I will eventually find something he missed. It sounds good any way,,,
