We had last Friday off, so her Ladyship and I planned on visiting our daughter and son at school in Eureka, a six-hour drive from the Sacramento area. We're entering Mendocino county when I spy a huge tom in full strut, right beside the road!! As I slam on the brakes, and make a u-turn, I'm thinking "wow! I have my cammies and stuff in the truck-I can put the sneak on him right now". That was the plan, until it was pointed out that the season begins Saturday, and today was Friday. so much for the best-laid plans of mice and hunters!!
