I must say that even though I love the mild weather that we have recently been having, I am glad to finally see winter showing up.
It seems that a mild winter and idle time only lead to an assault on our wildlife's few remaining homes by the dozers, saws, trenchers and the like, all for the sake of a few more dollars, a few more rows, another golf course, or a new housing development.
While I sat in the warm sun this deer season the sounds of the birds were drown out by the sounds of the saws up north, clearing the oaks and walnuts.
The boulder-shrouded hilltop prairie that always gave up at least one rooster per trip was no match for that D8 CAT.
I know that these losses on my hunting grounds do not amount to much, but if they are occuring statewide (which they are) I wonder what our final losses will be...
Sorry to write such a depressing post, but these were a few things that occupy my thoughts recently that I felt I should share.
