Two years I went shopping on Black Friday and never again will I stand in line to save a couple bux. These stores are getting wiser these days and doing online BF sales anyway. But I just need more electronics and toys and cookware like I need a hole in the head, so I'm avoiding stores at all costs on Friday, online or otherwise.

Instead, I figured it would be a good all-day hunting sort of day. Not the best day for driving anywhere, but if you go early enough it should be fine. I'm trying to drag my Dad out to Goio Park for once, and just wondering if any of you will be awake from your Thursday comas or if you have already started your Winter hibernation?

Drop me a line if you are interested in going. One weekend I stayed around the lake, last weekend we went dumpster diving in the trashy area. Now I think it's time to hit the north fields and go deep deep deep.

Saturday looks decent too. I'm really working hard to try to drag my Dad to Goio Park on Friday though. Might be possible to try your new site Saturday, it does look to have some great potential.

McEtrak, glad you could make it out! I'll PM you the details.

Goio, too bad bud. So you are "stuck" at the in-law's on this Turkey Day weekend? I'm sure you'll find some SLQ's or something down at the local tot-lot. Good luck! I promise to report all finds from your park... Friday just might be the day for some seated!

Goio suggested that I contact you both. I have a new etrac and am just learning to use it. Could I join you both on Sat if you go out? I live on the northwest in Old Irving Park

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving day. Mine was very nice. The next door neighbor to my inlaws has a huge feast every year and they invited us over. There were over 30 people there. I was scoping out places to hunt while I was there. lol. The guy that put on the feed told me of an old cemetary near there. I told him I didnt hunt those spots, but you never know about outside the fence. lol. I hope yall find lots of stuff today. GOIO, have you got out and made the woman mad yet??? LOL. See yall next weekend for sure. TMAN...
