Some rules:
- It is not in a garbage can.
- You do not need to tear anyone's property up to get to it.
- If it is still not found by Friday, March 27, Ben Baker (editor of the Wiregrass Farmer and Chief Ant Hider) will give a new clue or explain a clue starting at 2:00 p.m. in Heritage Park. Hunters may vote on having a new clue or having one clue already given explained. Ben says he is not bound by the vote.
- If no one finds the any by Saturday, March 28, 2020 at 12:00 p.m., Ben will lead a caravan of people to go retrieve it.
- Only Ben Baker knows where the ant is hidden. No one who works for him or who is in his family knows anything about the hiding place or what the clues may be.
- You MUST visit the businesses to get the clue. It will not be given out over the phone. If a business takes down the clue and you don't have it by then, you must track down someone who already has it and hope they share.
- Business are not obligated to post clues in easy to find locations. Some may post clues so that you have to walk through the store to find it.
