Finally! I’ve never felt so much anticipation for such a brief event in my entire life!
That being said, this particular excursion won’t be winning any awards. The field I stopped at just wasn’t secluded enough, and while it was on a relatively quiet road, the fact that visited during daylight hours combined with some traffic, sent me scurrying to another spot.
As luck would have it, there was another adjacent field just a short hop through the bush away. This field had some hill to it so I was able to find a hole that couldn’t be seen from the road. Yeah, this was much better, but still led to today’s lesson: Corn fields don’t make the best mud holes. I only managed to get down about 10 inches and it was polluted with corn husks and chewed-clean cobs. Definitely not award-winning.
On the way home I detoured past one of last year’s best finds. It was dark when I got there, and my flashlight sucks, but it was enough to let me know that the huge pile of wood I hid behind last year was gone… So how should I go about this one? The hiding spot is gone, but in it’s place is a good sized area where no grass grew because of the huge pile of wood… The little hole I used before is completely full of water, and the surrounding area is saturated… I left 2″ footprints without even getting close to the former woodpile… I left, filled with a renewed sense of anticipation. Guess where I’m going tomorrow! 🙂
