A successful season is ending it with the buzzards healthy and having caught some game. 25/26 was a successful season..... Unfortunately, I had to retire Arnold as he's just getting old. He's slow, limping some, but generally ok. The heat has beaten me this year. Each year it seems to gets a bit warmer, which corresponds to worldwide measurements. It's been an odd season. There were no field birds, with Farrah catching only one. I took her to the woods after considering releasing her. Her modest number of catches, eleven, resulted in her best squirrel season ever. She contributed to the season total, which would have been respectable for a single buzzard. I hunted a lot, nearly daily, and often twice. Cisco was deadly in late December, then struggled big time after January 1. Farrah picked up some of slack, and was often a lot of fun. Their styles on squirrels are so different. There was a lot of ground cover, a significant change from last season, and getting good ambush...
This is Cisco's 21st Season along with Farrah's 15th Season with me
