From what I see on the weather reports you had better get thee and thine into the storm cellar.

Charlie, enjoy the car show.
It makes you wonder why the owl doesn't just take thw crow out, he has the means to if he so choses, doesn't he. Hawks feed on doves and the like. It's funny the way nature works.

went this morning...was in the woodsjust about break of day... i sat and listened by the truck for half an hour only heard one fly down...decided i would make a stand and do a little calling it was a perfect place overlooking a little wet bottom i just knew there would be a turkey come up any secound but it did not happen..decided to change locations went to truck and drove to a large field as i drove by there were 3 large birds feeding in the field..i thought i would try a sneaking approch on them but changed my mind..decided to wait till tommorrow morning to go after them.... charlie
