Another Year to Hunt!

He has given me another year to hunt, bicycle ride, love my family and friends, and visit this Forum.

This morning, the temperature was right at 50ºF and the wind was NOT blowing.  That meant it was time for me to start my 2024 Squirrel Hunting Season.  I was in the woods and sitting on my little stool at 6:12 a.m.  The woods were very quiet, with nothing moving yet.  But it didn't stay that way long.  After sitting for about 15-minutes, the squirrels started moving/feeding up in the canopy.  (Hard hunting early season!)  After about an hour of sitting and watching, a young female offered a good shot.  Because her head was behind the leaves, I took the body shot.  She jumped around on the ground a little and finally died in some tall weeks.  Before I went to get her, another came running along a fallen tree and stopped about 45 yards out.  I tried a shot - no joy.
After taking pictures and cleaning my squirrel, I started moving very slowly along a fence line.  But the wind had started blowing.  After about 45-minutes of seeing no squirrels, I headed back to the truck.  But judging by the number of squirrels I saw in the short time I hunted, this season has promise of good things to come.
[My plan is to hunt again tomorrow morning.  So I didn't want to disturb the woods too much.] 

Blowpipe Sam:
Good luck this year Mike.  I look forward to following your adventures.

Thank you, Cap.  The lady, who is co-owner of the Farm, said she has seen many squirrels when she is checking on the goat herd.  It should be a good season if I do my part.
I like the way you said "following your adventures".
