    Congrats!!! Great going on the silver and wheats.

    Pitch hold makes me a little bit looney tunes after awhile lol but I do think it helps to hear the targets in certain conditions.

    Nice Mercury. Are the wheats around the same date as the Merc? 40's-50's or are the older?? I've tried pitch hold and I can't do it. lol Maybe I'll shoot for long signals

    the oldest wheat in this spot was 1930, i have hunted this spot over four times. the only thing i did drifferent was use pitch hold instead of normal. i think on normal the sounds would of be just a chirp but on pitch hold the sound was longer then just the chirp. i will try it at another spot tomorrow.

    You may have just sold me on pitch hold rofl I tried it before and didn't like it (kinda like spinach), but I may have to try it agian 1930 Wheat is a great sign

    Congratulations on your first Merc. May many more lie ahead.
