TOPIC: Dedication

I just want to know are there any diggers that hunt like i do everday of season rain or shine until the last one falls . been at it forty days in arow some good some bad couldnt say how many miles ive walked but lost 25 pounds and woreout two pairs boots . mad it 71 days one season back when it still started 15th august . so tired my wife says i act like a nut i dig and walk in my sleep she says good life

I hunt rain or shine after work and sometimes whil im at work.i did like you did a couple of years when I didn't have any work but it takes the enjoyment out off it after a while.i remember digging when it didn't bring as much money and we done it moore for the sport of it or something to do.my wife says I go to much sometimes but she likes the greenbacks.

your right doing it for a living does take the fun out of it . the hard part for me is readjusting after its done i cant sit still for at lest a week feel like im going crasie then i start grouse hunting feel a lot beeter

The withdraw is kinda rough!!

Lucky for me bow season always opens on Oct 15th, so the transition away from digging is pretty easy. But I always keep a large screwdriver in my hunting pack just in case I walk up on some.

Leebros! Hate to see the digging come to and end also, pretty much over with here. How many lbs. you dug so far?

i dont like to say dont want to be called a liar but about ten pounds less than last year but still working on it
