It's the middle of my fourth day deer hunting. Lunch break at home. Didn't see any critters, of any kind. I made this sketch this morning in the field. I just continued sketching my rifle and noticed all the turkey tracks in the snow. They're EVERYWHERE. Been a quiet day in the field, but I was able to listen to the flock of turkeys wake up in the ravine not far from me. Some times I think of all the things that need to get done at home. Xmas shopping. Sending out cards. Working on some bookbinding. So much to do. But setting out for a few hours makes it all slow down ... and I always like a snowy landscape.

Hunting, Day 4
It's the middle of my fourth day deer hunting. Lunch break at home. Didn't see any critters, of any kind. I made this sketch this morning in the field. I just continued sketching my rifle and noticed all the turkey tracks in the snow. They're EVERYWHERE. Been a quiet day in the field, but I was able to listen to the flock of turkeys wake up in the ravine not far from me. Some times I think of all the things that need to get done at home.

Arizona has had all sorts of elk hunters and hikers stranded in the high country due to the blizzard that blew through here a few days ago...So many were unprepared and got snowed in with 3+ feet of snow accumulation...Tis the season for hunting all over I guess...:)Great spread John! :)
Great spread of a slice of life that I left behind 40 years ago - though my father only brought home ducks and geese. Aren't the turkeys plump enough?
Nice journal page. I always like your style of composing your pages.
Hunting is an honest way to look your supper in the eye. Anyone giving you static about hunting is just making noise.
More great pages!
