woo

Long summer days afield
Chasing fleeting prey
Edgy grouse and hidden trout
Gems of the wild
Treasures
Rewards
Appreciating our quarries
Their lives sustain our own

Cool nights back at camp
Recounting victory and defeat
Good whiskey and better friends
Laughing in the dark
Fire-lit faces
Diamond Stars
These times won’t be traded
Not for their weight in gold
