watching them go by and by

So I spent a bunch of time in the treestand this weekend and there is nothing like pure silence sitting up 20 feet in a tree. You see and hear everything from small bugs to deer and stupid conversations from hikers. Well on Saturday it was quite for many hours because the connector trail was still closed. However on Sunday, not long after sunrise the bikes started rolling through pretty steady and I began to wonder why I too was not rolling along on a perfect fall day. I stayed out until about 10:00 am when I seen Ronsta roll by and could stay any longer. I went home and picked up Josh and head out for a good hike and to move my stand to a NW wind location. On the hike we found a few black orange bellied snakes, rare in wisconsin I guess. Great weekend.
