The dreamy month Oct.

Oct, that dreamy time of the year that is or was talked about in gun and hunting rags for years now gone by. Days of colorful leaves falling laying a carpet of color in the uplands, the days to pick up a nice double of 16ga or 20ga. pack a sandwich or to a bottle of water and not forget the dog. Stroll thru those upland thru the berry briers, along the beaver ponds and the thru the hard wood where the Beech are dropping their nuts. The excitement of the pats flushing from under foot that had been missed by the dog. That special spot from years past where the huge Beech tree has spread it's roots to form a the perfect spot to set and eat lunch sharing bits of cheese sandwich with the dog along with bits of apple that was picked off that wild tree along the trail to the beaver pond. It was also a good place to sit and look at the clouds as they traveled across the sky with the flocks of geese and ducks. What a beautiful place to take a nap with the dog's head resting on your lap while you stroked her gently behind the ears.

The dreamy month is here.

one of the most enjoyable afternoons i ever had hunting with not even a deer seen was while the rest of the crew was watching the packer game , i went out back found a nice bIg pot hole that had filled with leaves sat down in it laid up against the side , and fell asleep was in and out a bit , woke as it was getting dark and went back for supper

I have a had a few others where I brought out my camp chair with me and dozed off had a good nap in the woods

I love the tinkle of the bell the pup wears when were out hunting. There is also a smell to the air when the leaves are falling . Lots of folks here in Michigan like the out doors too.

I remember those nice October days. Favorite time of the year in Wisconsin growing up.

Now I hope for a day like that in late November or December, here in South Texas.

Not quite the same though..........

Trade-off; I don't have the same mosquito or deer fly issues! Oh, and no state income tax!

Pretty much everything in life involves trade-offs, I guess.
