    Lunch time hunt - Silver & Wheats

    After battling frozen and muddy hands during yesterdays lunch time hunt I almost turned around today and said forget it after feeling todays stiff cold wind when I went out the door at lunch.
    Glad I pushed on and did my lunch time hunting though...It helped to motivate me to get out there knowing that they are calling for 3-6 inches of snow tomorrow and a nasty and wet weekend.

    I told myself I would only do some cherry picking with the weather so nasty but if you are like me it is just too hard to pass up on a really strong signal...

    Ended up with 3Q's 5D's 5P's in the clad department. Also pulled a 39' Merc and a 39' Wheat within inches of the Merc....Down a bit further a 44' wheat showed itself... the rest of the hunt was some 60's-70's pennies, a key, and a newer .50 cal black powder bullet...

    Had a good time, and with my Carhartt hood pulled up I guess it waaaas tolerable... lol

    Looking forward to some above 40's temps so I can get serious about some hunting... lol

    Thanks for looking
