DIGGER27
In Memory Of
...as I am sure many of you are.
It has been unusually hot up north for longer than normal, out west I have read it has been brutal in some states.
Here in the south high heat into September and beyond is normal but right now I am kind of sick of it all.
The heat, the pounding sun, humidity has been around but not always unusually uncomfortable, thank goodness, but none of that matters when the ground is so dry it is very difficult to dig in.
I discovered using my Sampson it is easier to dig in the hard, dry dirt, I can make good plugs that heal up nicely with a little rain and I won't destroy and scar the earth like I would if I used my Lesche but still, just getting out there with all this stuff going on makes me think twice about even trying.
I have friends to hunt with and new sites to hunt but until things change it is hard to get motivated.
I hunt with PanheadDan and he is much younger plus fairly new so he is much more motivated to get out there in any kind of conditions...like I used to be not so long ago when I started.
Now, things are different...I find it hard to keep up in the heat.
Youth is wasted on the young.
We finally are out of the 90's here but we are still into the mid to high 80's.
I looked up the forecast for my area and it looks like we won't get into the 70's and stay there for daily temps until the middle of October.
Can't wait.
For me that is when my hunting season really begins.
Fall to spring is my time, I can go longer, be more comfortable and have more fun.
With a little rain we can get back to normal around here, such as that is, and get to the business at hand...freeing marvelous treasure from the bosom of mother earth.
Like I said...can't wait.
