    New subscriber from SE MN here. Great hunt in difficult conditions! Love seeing your excitement! That's what this hobby is all about...anticipation of the good things we know are to come with hard work and perseverance. We had an unusually warm day Sunday at 44 degrees, so I hit an ongoing permission of mine...a field that held a farm as far back as 1870s, but the ground was so frozen I was only able to dig half of the targets I located. Can't wait for the ground to thaw so I can get back for more. Thanks for allowing us to join in your excitement. Looking forward to following more of your adventures.
