    Darn, Soupie - with all that good food, who needs a detector? I might leave mine at home and just hang around the kitchen all day!

    That's great to just be able to harvest some fresh hickory.
    God bless our veterans! Thank you for your sacrifices!

    Sux I cannot make the group hunt but looks and sounds like it will be a blast!!! One of these days I have to go out in the woods and cut some maple branches for my smoker (1st time ever trying it), don't think we have hickory trees up here.

    Just an idea - can you send a few hickory branches up with L4S, I'll send him down with a Franklin half for a trade?

    L4S maybe you should bring a trailer down with you. so you can have room for all the great finds you'll probably have, plus the wood of course.

    I promise to at least dig two holes for everyone. You just have to call it, and I'll dig it for you...no strings attached. Just remember TWO holes for the WHOLE trip per person.

    Good luck to all you guys this weekend and an extra thumbs up to to Soupie for hosting . Very generous of you.
    One suggestion for you guys would be to eat after you hunt or else you won't be able to bend down to dig those holes after all that food.

    Trust me. . . if there's a fallen log ANYWHERE in the county,
    Tim will find it for some quality nap-time And if you wake him,
    you will have awakened a sleeping giant

    I'm going to love this hunt
