My one and only hunt in 2009

Adena_man · Dec 6, 2009

I had gotten hurt back in the spring/summer this year and was unable to hunt any fields. I have finally healed up enough to where I can walk around and do whatever I want to do again. A ruptured tendon in the foot is no fun whatsoever! Takes forever to heal. Anyway, I figured that the new field my friend had planted tobacco in this year had already grown up with the cover crop. I drove by there one day for the heck of it and found that the field was bare. I figured that if I was going to go this year, I had better do it soon. I went out about 3 weeks ago when we had a 70 degree, sunny day. I wasn't counting on finding much. I just wanted to walk a field again. Much to my surprise, I found a narrow-stemmed Adena, a resharpened Kirk cornernotch, two hammerstones, one crude knife, a hafted scraper, and a few other tools. I was excited to say the least! The crazy thing is, I still get as excited finding a good arrowhead at age 43 as I did when I was 10.

I can't wait til he plows the field this coming spring.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks Creekhunter! I wasn't sure how this good this field would be since it is on the outer fringes of where I hunt. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! I'm looking forward to hunting that field next spring!

Good luck!

Thanks Molly! Do you very many fields still being plowed in your area? Ours are dropping off slowly but surely. Most people use no-till for corn now. I told my friend that if he quits tobacco farming, I would buy the diesel fuel and plow the field myself just to keep hunting.

He just laughs and shakes his head.

Good luck hunting!
