		<description><![CDATA[Woodcock start peenting, a gravely, nasally sound they make to attract females, around sunset during their breeding season. At the end of the peenting cycle they burst nearly horizontally into the evening sky. They fly as much as 250 feet off the ground during their dance. When they reach their desired height they fly in an erratic pattern (could be mistaken for a bat) for several seconds before returning to the ground to restart the sequence.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just two weeks ago I was impatiently waiting for winter to leave and spring to arrive, and this morning I’m a little sunburned, have muscles that haven’t ached in months, and a mosquito bite on my foot.  The little six by twelve inch patch of daffodils haven’t bloomed well for a couple of years. I knew they were crowded but I just didn’t get to them. Breaking the rule of dividing spring bloomers in the fall, I found the spade in the garden shed and started digging. It’s no wonder they weren’t blooming, there were 60 bulbs in that tiny space. I separated them into two groups, roughly making each group equal in bulb sizes, and relocated them. ]]></description>

Then I pulled muscles in my back while getting ready to go. Wasn't this just going to be a great time. We knew where the turkeys should be and I wasn't missing out on a hunt. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spotted a turkey through the trees. "Turkey," I nearly yelled, followed by "tom!" I jumped out, put one shell in my 870 Remington Super Mag Bone Collector (12 gauge) and was watching the bird 30 seconds after spotting him. Steve used the wet box and on the third call, he stopped and gobbled. I had the shotgun up and safety off, but he didn't turn to come to the call. At 150 feet away, through the brush, I didn't have a good shot. Nothing less than a clean kill shot is ever acceptable to me. If I don't think I can kill my prey with one shot, I'm not shooting. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We went scouting for turkeys. That was almost a flop with only one hen spotted. We did find deer. Steve said, "Look at that deer!" It took me a moment to find her through the trees. She watched us watching her and stood perfectly still while I took pictures. ]]></description>
