    Winter Hunting

    Okay so I had read about this and thought I would share:

    Seems that a md'er who want to hunt in the winter but the ground is frozen has come up with a good idea.

    He take some old coffee cans, punches two holes near the top and takes a coat hangar and makes a handle. When he gets to the site he puts in some charlcoal briquetes and fires them up. When he locates his first target he puts one of the cans over it and then swings until he finds taget number 2. Puts the other can over that and then goes back to target number 1, which by that time the ground has softened.

    Sound plausiblethinkingabout:

    Okay so I have way to much time on my hands.

    Sounds plausible but I think one who would do that seriously needs an intervention ,

    At first I thought it sounded really cumbersome and impractical, then I realized that if you got hungry while detecting you could roast a hotdog on the charcoal. Suddenly it sounded like a great idea! lol

    The Sheik is right, an intervention is called for in this instance.
