So Long At the end of a long day of turkey hunting, waiting to hear the telltale gobble of a tom on his roost, in anticipation of tomorrow's hunt, one has time to soak in what for Mother Nature is a routine finale. Flinchlock Memories just don't get better than this. A special turkey, taken with a special gun. The Trophy Mountains are inspiring, wherever you find them. What a lovely word, encompassing so much meaning, so many memories, so much feeling.
Nothing makes it seem more real than the presence of that very symbol of wilderness, the elk.
Haven Alert Wildlife is marvelous, large or small. A wild cottontail did me the honor of allowing me to approach to within three feet, sit down, talk to it, and take a series of pictures while it continued to feed. My roots are in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. They are colorful roots. Sometimes a picture is worth the effort simply for the pure technical challenge of making it show what you want.
