One of the sure signs of the impending shooting seasons are my almost complete impatience with the lingering summer.
Such things as daydreaming of autumn hunts of past seasons and rummaging through my upland books that I haven’t read or at least re-read in the last couple of years... and then I’ll find a good one and start reading. Well into the third or fourth chapter I realize I’m tormenting myself but I can’t put the book down.
Here’s one I’m torturing myself with right now... I’m at the lake and should be fishing but I just can’t help myself....
