And yet another sign
Last evening 3 deer came into my pasture at dusk, two mature does and a small buck. One of the does and the buck have changed their coat to winter grey. The third was still summer red. The times, they are a changing.
Friday night we are supposed to get down into the 40's. Sounds like Saturday morning is set for a dog run for sure. |

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.... .

I'll be looking for another to read soon - one that I'm sure I've already read at least once before.
The following, among several others I have, came from Bill Tapply's collection of his Dad's things. .

Call of the Quail and Bare November Days are good, if you like books on upland hunting.
I have been reading Happy Hunting Ground by A. S. Salley, Jr., which is mostly about deer hunting in SC after the Civil War. |

I have "Bare November Days" and have enjoyed it thoroughly.
"If you like books on upland hunting"..... seriously? Are there any other kinds of books? .

Just a figure of speech . . .
You could venture into duck hunting books. I am actually trying to find some books about upland hunting in the old South, but there basically are none. |

Most on this forum probably know this book but it is one I just recently acquired. I've been enjoying the artwork and text lately.
