Ive NEVER hunted so early in a year so I'm grateful to have a nice Jumpstart to the year, thanks for looking and hh!! 20160103_065934.jpg 20160103_104012-1.jpg 20160103_104023.jpg 20160103_104034.jpg 20160103_124437.jpg 20160103_130415.jpg

Great stuff. I've managed to put in more swinging time the last two days than the last two months. Weather has been kind here in Massachusetts. I *felt* like I'd find some silver to start the new year off right, but alas, nothing. Congrats to getting going early!

Ah ha! A nice way to start 2016 is with a silver dime instead of a rust colored clad quarter! Lol

Nice job

thanks abe, the finds weren't earth shattering but it was awesome just to be able to get out and get on the keeper tally so early in the year

Yeah! Bingo! I think I'm beginning to like this new year! :)
thanks gary, I'd say I'm pretty happy to be able to get on the silver so early in 2016, last two seasons my 1st silver came at the end of march, but I know 1 cold week will close the doors on the 2016 season til spring lol

Congrats on the silver, ,
What a difference between last year's weather and what we have seen so far. Not to be a party pooper, but we better get it while we can.
