All of the conversation about deer (and the lack of them in the north country) including a press conference with the Governor (yes I attended as the Executive Director of the Maine Professional Guides Association) and news articles this weekend. All of this has me looking carefully for tracks whenever I am out and about. Argy and I walk almost every day the same two and a half miles.
Argy and I walk most mornings and it is great way to keep up with the changes going on around us as the seasons change. This morning we were treated to a group of tom turkeys gobbling at each other before leaving the roost. It has been a week or more since we heard the first gobbling of the spring a few tentative gobbles at first. This was quite loud with several toms gobbling at once.
I take a first aid and CPR course every other year so that I am always certified part of my commitment to provide safe trips for clients. My final class for this year was last evening. When I left the house it was snowing but not amounting to much, the roads on the way in were just wet. As the evening went by we could see out the windows that the snow was starting to really come down and it has been a long time since I had to drive home in a near white out!
