I have plenty times, Tigue, but not lately. It's been too hot and the ground is like concrete.

Yep. I'm working on permissions for a lot with several foundations right now. Been in the woods a lot lately, more prospecting and metal detecting then bottle hunting though. Ran up on a big black bear the other day about 8 miles outside P-ville. That'll get your heart movin. Got some good leads over the summer and there are privies to be had, but like Mike said, gotta wait for some rain to soften up the ground. The clay is baked rock hard.
