They say talkin' to yourself isn't a dangerous thing unless you start answerin' . Then again, I've been hunting turkey all by myself for twenty years. It had to happen sometime, I guess.
The fact of the matter is that the top one there was POST #1 on the forum, and I spent some time on here as the only outsider. I just figured I'd keep this one thread going for old time's sake if nothing else and just keep it like a log with only a couple of entries per year.
This may be weird to y'all, but there is nothing that quite compares in my life to being away from camp for 2-3 months and then coming back in. I spend the whole winter fretting about the place. It's weathered ice storms, tornado and so on, and it is always such a relief to see it. In the time away I've had to deal with the holidays and the stresses of life at the plant. I really get to missing the place.
What's more, there is a perfect time capsule of the end of deer season waiting for me, right down to the paperwork for the taxidermist and the processor. In between coming through the door and getting the first fire lit, I see where my life was when I walked out and it shows me how much has changed.
It's getting so the first trip back in late Winter is more than Christmas, and the there is nothing quite like the feeling I get when the water's back on, the fire's built and the bags are in from the car, and I can finally go out back to my spot and look out over the fields bathed in moonlight and take that first sip of good scotch. In a little while, I will have to get the grill going and put the steaks on, but for that one brief bit of time, I can be at peace with the world.
