Hunting with Mike

While I love the snow, and the pure fresh picture that it paints on nature’s canvas, I am ready for it to melt, along with “Frosty!”  It can come again another day-like next year when I need it to track a big rut crazed 10 pointer.   Until then though, let the sun shine in!  This picture was taken less than a week ago, but right now the snow is almost completely gone from my yard.  Yesterday’s upper 50’s felt wonderful, and today’s 40’s should finish off “Old Man Winter” for this year.  I saw my first robin yesterday, and my wife has been seeing them for several days-welcome back my feathered friends.  Now that is a sure sign of Spring!  My wife’s tulips are even starting to crack open the soil, a wee bit.

The other day, when I went rabbit hunting, we saw a ton of turkey tracks.  Before you know it the woods will ring out with the clucking, yelping, and gobbling of the turkey’s spring ritual.  I’m really looking forward to getting back up north-I’ve missed it!  In the word’s of that famous television icon “Springtime come on down!”
