>> Hello List,

>>

>>  I, too, had a great time at the new West, Tx fall. My son and I arrived 

>> there on Wed afternoon, Feb 18th, 3 days after the fall, and hunted all 

>> day Thu-Sat, the 19-21st. This was our 1st father-son hunt and it turned

>> those 3 days. ( My son beat me by a factor of about 2.5 to 1 in regard to 

>> weight found!)

>>  When we arrived home, my wife saw the beautiful stones and said she

>> had been on one hunt with me 13 years ago, with no finds. So, after

>> week, she and I headed back down there for another try over Sun-Tues, 

>> 3-1-09 thru 3-3-09 . We got very lucky again, as we both ended up finding 

>> one before it was time to leave.

>>

>>  Our "find stats" for about 5 day's hunting were:

>>

>> Total number = 7 individuals

>> Total weight = 407g

>>

>>  I THINK my son's 133g find is PERHAPS the 5th (or so) largest stone?? 

>> But this is exactly the point I was hoping to make with this post. It

>> the TKW. I think everyone would be very interested to see what the true 

>> numbers are.
