Well I went out yesterday and didn't see or hear anything....except a bear that got into a look-down contest with me at 20 yards in a thicket. I heard leaves rustling to my left while she was in front of me, so I think it was an apprehensive sow with cubs standing her ground. Anyway, I didn't stick around to find out! Kind of unnerving not to have a bear take off like I'm used to. I actually started talking out loud as if I was with someone.
I set up with my dad on a ridge line we had both seen birds all trout season on, but as usual, come turkey season they're not there.
To top off the day we went fishing at Mauch Chunk Lake and my battery that showed 13.4 volts last week put out only 7 under load[&o].......lemme tell you about rowing a 12 foot aluminum with one paddle. I guess without the bad days there wouldn't be good ones.
Good luck to the rest of you!
