It's a beautiful October and the leaves are all but gone, but ..... I want snow! I want to see tracks so I know what's moving out there.
The weather is unseasonably warm and the game is still at the beach, or wherever it goes when it's not around here. The lady meese are still showing up regularly across the lake, but the bulls are not making their presence known. Elsewhere the rut is under way.
Oh well, it's still a joy to be out there under sunny skies, my 50-70 Sharps carbine in hand. Won't be long I'll be cursing the snow and the winds that cut you to the bone and freeze exposed skin on contact.
