But, I did have a pretty nice hike under the auspices of turkey hunting this morning. There is a canyon not far from the house where I have seen turkeys before, but had not been this spring. Some deer were there, a few antelope, and even a couple of elk on the high ridges, but not a turkey to be found. Spring is now official, however, because I saw the first 'shooting star' flowers of the year.
Clear Creek is up, but not at full runoff just yet; there is still a lot of snow in the mountains.
Some more spring flowers are poking their heads up; summer can't be too far off..
This old ponderosa has seen better days..
So, the morning wasn't a waste, even though no turkeys wanted to play. If we judge success only by the meat we bring home, we are missing a good part of what traditional bowhunting is all about.
