So after some BIG disappointments the past couple days at the Iron City Field, digging 11-12/43-44s only to find copper/brass fittings of some sort, and then one Screaming 11/45, 12/46-47 repeating on the 90, I was expecting at least an LC, but letting my mind race I envisioned my first Seated, only to uncover another brass/copper tubing end cap..........
Today I tried to gain permission at a field that will probably go upwards of 500 plus acres, my map shows 4 homesteads and an old road through this property. Well one of the sites is reserved for the property owner's grandson's friend....... The other 3 sites including the old road, Permission Granted!! (2 different land owners) I found one site and worked it a couple of hours, finding my very first Fatty Indian! As usual the fertilizers/chemicals have taken a toll, I can't even get a date, the best I can make out is 1861 or 1864. The land owner also told me about another homestead on a different property I could hunt also. Before the day was over it was 25 degrees and not suppose to be above freezing for the next 3-4 days. So I will finish my brief 2014 season (hunting during school break) with my first fatty and permission at 4 new field sites!
Everyone have a great and safe new year!
Thanks for looking, Bill
