I refuse to name any of my shooting irons a female name. The last thing I need while out hunting is for one of them to decide its a bad time of the month. You're walking too fast, I don't like the way you're carrying me, you don't love me anymore so I'm going to misfire on you.
Lawdy, I have enough to deal with as it is.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about
Well, squirrel season came back in today and the weather forecast didn’t look to bad so I went.
I was going to my new honey hole this morning. We got a little snow overnight and calm winds. I was really looking forward to the day.
I live in a ridge and valley area with four valleys separated by mountains. I have to drive down my valley to the river, go around the head of the mountain and up the next valley to a road that goes over the next mountain.
I’m going down that valley and I see flashing light and flairs ahead and a car turning around. Somebody ran off the road and hit an electric pole. I turn around and heading back find a school bus stopped with lights flashing but not the red lights. After awhile the guy in front of me walks up to the bus and talks to the driver. I find out from him that somebody hit another pole and power line s are across the road. I’m stuck between two of the same wrecks. I can’t believe it!!
I sit there for an hour and half listening to music and texting with Ed. ( Thanks Ed!).
Finally a guy held up the wires so we could get through.
Out to the river again, around the head of that mountain and up the other side. Get to my spot about 8:45. Get my stuff on, prime my pan and take off. Immediately I’m seeing lots of squirrel tracks and see a couple as I’m walking in the trail. As I cut down where I want to go I see two on the ground close. Sticks are on my back so I offhand it with my usual results.
Get to where I want to set up and saw two squirrels after quite awhile. No shot. Moved to another spot and sat. Nothing. By 11 the fog was rolling in so I left.
In the afternoon I hunted down valley from my place and didn’t see a squirrel. The fog rolled in there too.
Better days ahead I’m sure.
