I took a tiny vacation to he old home place to do some field checking and hunting turkey and mushrooms and maybe a little fishing. Saturday am in the blind by 4:30 am. didn't think about the fact that it doesn't get light there as early as in Lincoln. I sat in darkness for about an hour. I had turkeys all around, probably 8 or so within 200 yds. Just couldn't get any to come within the 20 yd range. Preferably 10-12yds. Seemed to be spooked by something. Anyway I gave that up about 10 am. visited with DeAnne a while. Went fishing for a little while. Had a giant ca fish on for about 5 sec. until he straightened out a stainless steel swivel. Large fish!! sure wish I could have landed (and eaten) him... or her. Decided to go mushroom hunting, Morels, and found quite a few. It's a little hit and miss. Went with zero for 20 minutes then found about 35 in 2 minutes. Hopefully will sample them later today. Got home about 11:35 PM. When I left I had made it to york when Darlene called and informed me I had not taken any clothes or anything else like toothbrush, shaver etc. I looked pretty nasty when I made it back home. I did see several hundred deer, multitudes of bird species etc. It was lots of work carrying a blind, bow, decoys, calls, and chair everywhere I went when hunting. good exercise. I think Darlene and I will go have a mid am breakfast. Maybe some of you would enjoy taking up hunting turkeys. Good to eat, I hear, and good for you!! Coming home I was so tired I put a Portis Head CD in about 3/4 full blast to keep me awake. I guess it worked. Darlene is still struggling with sciatic pain in her left leg. Seems to improve a little but nights and mornings are not good.
