Berkshire men on Hunt again

The season is upon us now
With upcoming Fall.
White Tail will run
And ducks and geese fall.
Men will hide on limbs
suspended in the air,
Watching turkeys pass
With cold ,blank stares.
Then the ice will freeze.
And out will come the sticks,
The ones with orange flags.
While wives pack their lunches,
In quart size plastic bags
to cook on blazing fires
Lit along the shore
That cooks the fish and meat
While warming hands and feet
All huddle close, as. temperatures drop
And all become as one with only one thought,
"We are Berkshire men
We will never change
Never in a thought, word or age,

A tribute to my friends here in Berkshire who I hunted and ice fished with.. Some are gone now but those left are still on the move

God bless them!

A very nice tribute - me - myself - I would rather sit by a fireplace where it's warm and read a book. I know - I'm a wimp! laugh Have a good day! wave

Ksthy;

Nothing wimpy about that. I love sitting
by afire on a rainy cold day and reading a good book. I am an insatiable reader now and then also. Have more time for it now. Very relaxing. Thank you for your comment.
