Today marks probably the last day to get all out things in order for the muzz deer hunt.  But then it’s Sunday and some have other callings in life.  As for me, all my stuff is still sitting in various piles here and there and only need to be hauled out and piled into the truck for the ride up to camp.

I got a text last night and the ID did not say who it was from but the message read something like this:

We only had an hour or so to check things out, but we did see 10 head, all does and fawns, but we know that somewhere close by are the bucks.  See you Tuesday.

WOW!  A good report even though no bucks were seen.  I know that behind every tree just out of sight were the bucks snickering with one cloven hoof held tightly against their lips…”I can see you, but you can’t see me”….a quote from Gattlin I might add.

And then this very morning my cell phone rings and it is the voice of the famous Magpie on the other end….”Hey Butt, the quakie leaves up on Baldy have all turned yellow…just thought you would like to know.  I’m heading into work to do some last minute jobs so I can take the week off.  See you Tuesday!”

With the very smoky situation to the atmosphere around here lately there would not have been any way to see the quakie leaves slowly turning their autumn yellow color and so with todays clear morning sky, of course the sudden view of a stand of quakies up on Baldy would stand out contrasted against the surrounding oak in red.  Great observation Magpie and thanks for that report.  Everything is two weeks ahead of normal and we can expect to have falling aspen leaves before next weekend.

Do I sense more excitement this year than in the past?  I think not.  It’s been a very long week for us all and pretty soon we will find ourselves faced with Tuesday morning and the trip up and over the crest of the famous Wasatch Front, to our camp destination!  Who is excited is ME!  63 years old and as giddy as a school kid.

If it wasn’t Sunday, I’d mow the lawn today.
