    Picnic Grove hunt with Kimsdad

    I have had permission to hunt a private picnic grove for some time now only to have that permission stopped
    back in Sept or Oct cause of an older employee who complained a lot about a lot of things.
    We'll she's gone and so I sought permission again and the "COMMITTEE " granted it back to me... a few weeks ago.

    I have been wanting to get Kimsdad out there and yesterday just happen to be the day. I'm glad that he found some keeper's
    ( Hi Ho Silver )

    I found a few myself. I'm sure glad we didn't get skunked like I have a few times in the past....

    Mine were a 1939 Merc...1895 I H .....1893 I H ( both in the same hole ) and ( you read it )

    Thank for making it out Neil....

    Here are some word's to remember:

    I only hope that we never lose sight of the one thing- that it was all started by a mouse ------Walt Disney

    Last week when you mentioned that you got the "green light" to hit
    that grove again, I could sense the excitement in your voice

    VERY nice Indians & WD pin

    Re: Picnic Grove hunt with Kimsdad

    Hey Bob, congrats on getting permissiom to hunt there again. I know how much you like that place. You guys sure got some good finds out of there!

    (I'm standing uncomfortably close to you in hopes you'll notice that I'm very interested in hunting this area with you, should the occasion rise where you need a partner out there..............wink wink nudge nudge........LOL)

    Keep up the great work guys.
