The Sika Marsh - A New Season

It felt great to get out on the sika marsh again yesterday in Dorchester. Two things were missing which made it pleasant. All I could hear was wind; no constant buzzing attack by mosquitos; no need to fire up the ThermoCell. Also, a cool front pushed out the extreme heat  which brought out, big, puffy cumulous clouds in a deep blue sky and the need for a long sleeved shirt. Scouted enough to pick out a (hopefully) hot spot for some good animals. The sikas stayed out of range but it really didn't matter...one more season up in a stand. Heard the splashing ... can't wait to hear the bugles again.
