My turkey season has come and gone and it was a really good one. There were close encounters with some tough toms, hours of watching spring charge in and lots of fun with my hunting buddy, young Donnie Stuver. There are no dead turkeys at the end of our stories, but cold beer and "sammiches" at Tall Paul's sure helped us lick our wounds! Donnie is very patient hunting with an artist. He will wait for me to take a closer look at a flower or an interesting clump of moss. He even listens as I point out all the yellow on a Yellow-rumped warbler. If you take your time, really look closely and the light is just right... You can almost watch his eyes glass over! Here's to next year.
