I apologize to everyone for not being there with the gloves in the morning. My wife had a rare reaction to a new medication on friday nite and was life flighted out of Mayo. We got her released today at 2PM and are home now and she is good to go minus some aches and pains.

If you need a great pair of gloves I will be more than happy to mail them to you if you PM me your address.

I'll catch you all on the next hunt.

Thanks for the update. So glad to hear that things are okay! As you can imagine we were all concerned but wanted to give you some time. Looking forward to seeing you at another hunt.

To Cybercop...
Thanks for following up on this "situation". Hopefully, everyone concerned can learn from it. Sounds like you handled it in a respectful way if the sheriff offered to do some land research for you.
Nicely done!

I was in those woods but did not encounter anyone. I didn't see any No Tresspassing signs either. Did find a wire fence line buried in the ground, it was the only metal I found out there! No distinction of private land was visible, so off I went.
Didn't mean any harm.

Yeah, like I said, nothing (public OR private) was properly marked according to FL law......................

Fun on the Suwanee River

Jo Ann and I are glad we met all of you guys. Especially want to thank ocalasix and wife for making all this happen. I counted all the targets that I retrieved and I believe I got up and down over 200 times! But, it was all fun and I would do it again in a heart-beat. Didn't get too many pictures but here are some from the weekend.

These are my "treasures" from the weekend!
SAM_0357.JPG SAM_0358.JPG SAM_0359.JPG

Total I got:
128 pennies; 24 dimes; 4 nickels; 6 quarters; 5 shell casings; 20 bottle caps; 58 assorted pieces of junk; 1 F-16 fighter jet; and 2 turtle shells.
Quite a haul :laughing7:
