" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Your shirt blends in with the stripes on the trees.  Excellent use of location specific camouflage.  :chuckle:

Not that trip.. The weekend before a group of friends and I cleaned up, though. That walk was more of an excuse to get out and see some scenery.. Especially when turkeys were gobbling less than 100 yards from my parking spot. I kinda forgot about morels. :)

Dang Hershey, you sure have a lot of guys on here wishing they were single (and you if your not!).  How cool of a gal you are and your hunting skills are better than most!

Well thank you, that is incredibly kind. :)  :cmp1: I just like to be outside! I have found that if you spend enough time out there, you'll luck into some neat things. :)

I will sure try! It's starting off slow for us... we're usually in New Mexico/Arizona this time of the year.. still stuck at home waiting for the call!

Yeah, it seems to happen more frequently here near my summer haunts in Oregon than anywhere else I've explored... probably around a 20 sightings in the woods for me now. :) It always surprises me, though...
