Fine Pheasants For Pennsylvania Opener

Headed to Gamelands today on my favorite day of the season. Found some nice birds. Really had to work for them. Walked about 7 hours to locate birds. Very crowded, got pushed around by large groups of guys. Finally found some luck on the edges and large structure. Birds were nice, large size with good markings. Will be a tasty treat for the freezer. Looking forward to the rest of pheasant season.

Channel Catfish Large In lake Erie

Went down to the Bayfront this evening with the kids. Large front moving in and barometer plummeting. I knew fish would be turned on. Caught a large Channel Cat about 7lbs, 24 inches. Gave my kids a nice fight. Took both of them holding on to the rod to get this fat fish in. Caught about 10 Sheepshead, and multiple smaller perch. A fun and exciting evening.

Sheepshead Biting Hard At Border Patrol

Took the kids out for a night of fishing. Went to the Border Patrol in search of crappie on the wall. Fished last couple of hours of light. Caught several large sheepshead on minnows. Nothing else. Fun for the kids to reel in but nothing for the table.

Father's Day Luck In Ohio Amazing Finds

Had a little time off today for Father's Day. Decided to make a trip to Ohio. Just randomly went across the border and followed The Grand River. had luck with me as I tried one landowner and worked a single field. Field was a rise overlooking the creek. Found three artifacts. A very large beautiful white Cache Blade, A nicely worked fleshing tool, and long black knife. Found tons of flakes in the field but no points. Very interesting field. No heads, just larger pieces. This will be my last time out this year. A nice way to end the year.

A Few Nice Finds In New Field In Pennsylvania

Woke up this morning at 4:30 loaded and ready to go to sell at the Flea Market. Checked the radar and decided it would be a wet day. Unloaded and by 5:15 was out the door to check out a new field I discovered last week. Large area in South East Erie County/North East Warren County. Now way could I cover the whole field, so I concentrated on a few rises. Walked to about 12:30. Battled rain and wind. Found 4 points, about just shy of 6 hours looking. Well earned. Did not find a concentration of sign. Actually, very little flakes. Points were scattered, most came from one central rise. Found one beauty, a complete Decatur Fractured Base. Very well made, thin. Early Archaic. A Kanawha, Early Archaic. A Palmer Corner Notched, Early Archaic, missing the tip but deeply serrated. Last head looks to be a preform of a Steubenville Steam, Late Archaic. pretty cool stuff. Will continue looking for new spots, looking to head further South of Erie to gain more permission. Just about all of the fields I have already walked in my area. Hope to gain a few more spots before season runs out. May even take a venture to Ohio to see what I can find there.

Two Nice Arrowheads From Crawford County PA

Went out today early for walk after several nights of heavy rain in Crawford County. Went to a field known for arrowheads and is a popular spot. Hit it hard, covering a large area for 5 hours. Found two nice complete points. Much, much sign with flakes in the entire field. There were old footprints over the entire field, but with the persistent heavy rains this week it uncovered two gems. I did cover a lot of ground to find these and they were tough finds.

Found Some New Areas In Erie County For Points

Went on a scouting mission today after work. Drove throughout Erie County to gain permission on new spots. Jumped into a field with the kids for about 45 minutes, ended up with 4 points. 3 triangles and one nicely worked small point. Looks to be a great area, only worked a small portion of the field. Farmer states there are many points to be found, and no one has been looking there for some time. Another spot I hope to explore this weekend. This is a very large track of land with several humps. landowner says one guy visits the spot on occasion, but not looked very hard. Has not had many headers in the area and he speaks of legends of an Indian site on his property. Will have to find out soon.
