Soon, soon.
Did you feel it this morning?
For the first time, fall was in the air here. Maybe not literally, but at least possibly. A whiff of wood smoke, a temperature that lifts moisture from soil to nose, a stirring of all things wild including emotions, foretelling the upcoming hunting season.
The dogs were energized on their runs, moving with an urgency I hadn’t seen for a while. Cooler temperatures meant longer exercise periods for everyone, and while it was hot again by mid-afternoon, a west wind carried fall onto the prairie again before a cookout dinner that required a sweater.
Are you ready?

Here in South Dakota the mornings are cool and crisp and the smell of fall has taken me back to seasons past, I love this time of year ,The sounds,The smells ,the feeling of another hunting season is on us,
The guns are cleaned and readied, Two dogs watch for me to come home from work and take them out in the field to work, even if only for a short time ,We all wait just for this time of year ,It’s what makes all things worth it!
31 degrees this morning!
I am ready, the dogs are ready, however old Mr. Summer is still hanging on here in Oklahoma. The mornings are beginning to feel a tad like fall however the afternoons are still hitting the triple digits. But thirty more days, the dog training and the people training will begin, hunting season will be on course with new praires and adventures waiting for us. Can’t hardly wait! See you in the praires my bird hunter friends.
And be safe!
