Outdoors

I’m a slob! Not totally, but enough to have driven my mom… and the wife… a little nuts! It’s not that I’m opposed to cleanliness, it’s just that I realize there’s a major difference between “clean” and “clean enough.”
How many of you have never picked up a piece of clothing, sniffed it, and decided “clean enough?” Those who have will understand my point. Those of you who haven’t… shame on you for lying!

First off, Bobby Thomas took a very nice elk during their annual trip to Colorado. I didn’t get any details but will pass them along when I get to talk with Bobby.
One of my friends has been fishing for striped bass on Cumberland with little success. He tells me he sees lots of shad balls (schools) but no stripers bustin’ em (eating them).
Said the last time he went the water was extremely rough. He’s hoping it’ll be better this weekend.

Almost everyone who hunts wild turkey knows there’s a big difference in the methods used between the spring and fall seasons.
In the spring the lust crazed toms are easily (yeah, right) called as they search for girlfriends.
Ya just do some scouting, hopefully locate a roost area, then set up on that area the next morning and start calling when the birds fly down. If ya miss the fly down you can still (hopefully) locate a bird by making a series of loud calls and listening for a reply. Then ya “run and gun.”

Received some good news Friday!
For those who didn’t know, or maybe care, I broke my left upper arm back in April. Since then I’ve been in a ‘clam shell’ cast, which really limited my movement. To make matters worse I was also told to “avoid people.” For me that was actually the worst part.
So, no people, no driving, no nothing except staying inside and staring out the window… For the last six months!
