Gone But Not Forgotten
I was at one of my favorite fishing spots tonight--the Dawson Fish House--and talked with a fella I know that spends a lot of time in the outdoors during the daytime and nighttime. I asked if there was anything he wanted to share...
He said that he has seen a pretty fawn several times over the last couple of weeks. He could have harvested four or five nice deer a night the last couple of nights (if he were that kinda guy, which he isn't.) He's seen some coyotes and bobcats, but not as many hogs since May. In May, he saw a herd with this one sow, where the piglets were like doorsteps, making him think that the piglets had been born bred, there was so many with the different sizes! Since then, he thinks the hogs have gone deeper into the creek bottoms because of the drought. He does know of a man who emptied his rifle three times one morning, harvesting a porker with each shell. He noted that he hasn't been hearing as many of the night birds as he usually does, but there are plenty of crickets and frogs mouthing off. He's not sure if the weather is affecting the birds, or if he just isn't in any one spot long enought to attract the birds' attention. He did tell me that he has seen a lot of wild quail this year, so far, so that's good news since we're wanting the wild birds to make a comeback.
