    Today I'm happy

    This afternoon I hit an out of town spot I hadn't hunted in years . I hit it for 2hrs. and managed to get one of those elusive Merc's (1943) and $1.55 in clad . I'll be hitting that spot again .

    No Ron , all I can say it is South of GGP and you have to watch out for a lot of dog crap, if I say more than that it would be real easy for the local silver sharks to figure out . lol

    Thanks for looking and commenting Folks . thumbsup01
