WALKING ON NEWGRASS DRIVELER #356

[gobbleinwoods]

Great bird. It was a beautiful morning. I got setup on 2 this morning hammering on roost. And 8 hens cut me off and intercepted them. I watched them strut around with them hens for 2 hours.

That is better than not seeing any.

I would consider that successful! The encounter alone in my opinion is a success.

Says the driveler who killed the bird promised to dw.

This morning's bird was the first bird I have ever taken while I was standing up. Had to wait for the other two Toms to clear before I shot. The bird I shot was dead at 15 steps, probably the closest kill I have also.

I got DW covered.

Every time I hear this, it makes me want to kill, take scalps, and remove little fingers from those I consider Wasichu`s . Good music.

If you ever set around a fire at a good Rondyvoo, on a cold night, and somewhere on the other side of the camp someone fires up a fiddle and plays that, it will truly put you back into another time. @fishfryer knows what I`m talking about.

I always wanted to attend a rondezvous as a participant not as a spectator. I was working on a setup when my body went south on me. I can imagine the camp would get fired up with that.

Beautiful day, got a good bit accomplished moving a bunch of firewood logs with Jag and some general cleanup stuff. Ol back is talkin to me a little though.

I’m a big homely man who loves simple things, and things are special to me when made and given to me. Those things can be tools,knives,handcrafts,or a single cookie,or a song or piece of music the point is it was made and given from the heart. I remember just like it was yesterday a neighbor came over to our house and played “Golden Wildwood Flower” for me. He was a Tennessee gentleman,and a remarkable musician I thought. I was just 6 or 7 years old,but I felt like royalty. Small things,done from the heart touch me.So do wild places and animals,another memory was at a camp when Nic was present. An ambulance in the far distance was sounding it’s siren and the Red Wolves in Chehaw Park started a mournful howling. I can’t say why it touched me so deeply,but it did. Perhaps the primeval,sad,voices of the wolves imparted to me the hopelessness of their captivity. Mankind is much as confined in cages as those beautiful animals are. It’s all about emotions that bring thoughts of earlier times and how good people lived their lives with dignity. Nic is right about a haunting fiddle tune,they bring on remembrances and even melancholy. When Ken Burns’s series “ Civil War” first showed here ,I enjoyed some of the events that weren’t colored by yankee prejudice,what moved me were the martial music songs,and campfire ballads of the time. The simple melodies and soulful music had me almost entranced. Goodness of the human spirit and music from the past please me,a lot.

Cooking some skettie now and watching the rest of the race.

 

[Core Lokt]

A horse and buggy just trotted by on the road with a few folks in it. Man I love living here!

 

[cramer]

Nice bird Blood!

Chief, I don't know if those scripts was wild caught, but they are very tasty.
Those guys come back every week on Wednesday thru Sunday.
I suggested they take home some muscadines when they come into season

 

[blood on the ground]

I'm going to watch the sun fade away, sip a stiff drank then watch Jeremiah Johnson.
See y'all Monday!

 

[Jeff C.]

Well said Ken

And all this time I thought his name was Mr. Fish Fryer.
