Free Write 3/26/13

Oh this is going to be a long week. Work is just awful right now we have cattle dropping like fly's because of the weather changing so much. The cattle that aren't dieing have decided to go through every single fence possible and it's just not been a fun couple of days. Even though it tuesday it feels like it should be the weekend already. I just want it to warm up to where I'm not freezing at work or sweating either. I just want to work with a t-shirt on and the windows down while I feed. I would probably be the happiest guy in the world. I bet I sound like a big cry baby haha. Oh well I guess I can complain from time to time. On the bright side turkey season starts in like fifteen days or something like that! I can't wait to give an old tom a dirt nap. The only thing I'm worried about is with the drastically changing weather we've been having I'm afraid that it will affect there breeding cycle and during the season the toms won't be trying to breed. I could be way wrong, I'm just hoping that I am. I think the best season I ever witnessed was the spring of 2008. Everyone i knew killed a turkey. I shot my bird in youth season and it ended  up being the 11th biggest all time in missouri, by NWTF standards.

It's so close to spring I can already hear the turkeys gobbling. You know I wonder if you actually read these and get tired of me writing about hunting all the time. Oh well, it's my passion so I'm not to worried about it. haha. Lastnight I went to my girlfriend's house and she fell asleep for like 3 hours, she wouldn't wake up so I just went to sleep also. Yesterday at work I drove a tractor and fed hay for seven hours straight. It's nice when we can put out hay with a truck and a Deweze bed but it's just to wet right now I would be stuck in no time. Yesterday really wasn't all that bad other than it just seemed to drag on, after I was done feeding I had to wash the tractor because it was filthy. The boss likes to keep things pretty. I guess if I spent 56,000 on a tractor I would want it to be pretty also. I powerwashed the tractor so that wasn't too bad. On the plus side it was really nice yesterday. I even had to turn the air conditioner on in the tractor. Which smelled awful because of the dirt and manure dust that was in the vents. I'm thinking about looking into some snow goose decoys and a call. I've been seeing them around this year more than ever and I think it would be really cool to hunt them. I mean I hunt every other type of waterfowl so why not just hunt them too. They're kind of an ugly bird, not very attractive looking if you were going to eat them. They band alot of them so that's the main reason I want to hunt them. They even put radio callers on them. I think that would be awesone to just see. Waterfowl are very interesting animals.
