Victims of Changes...Or Not

Sometimes things change and sometimes not. Sunday Andy and I went to the New Old Spot to check out the water levels and possible blind selections for this Mondays upcoming opening day. As we hiked in trimming back pricker bushes and blazing a new trail, thanks to the deer, we reflected on years past. We talked of the times we made the same walk, to the same spots, about the anticipation we always felt on the way in and the gratification on the way out. Today was the same, just like many other days from the past. The lay of the land always changes, sometimes it's the growth of new trees and grasses, sometimes water will make an inlet that was not there before. This year the Hoy 7 Hunting Team is embarking on new traditions, it's going to be our first year with out the co-founder Bob. No he's not dead but he has moved on to bigger and better things in his life. We wish him well. Also hunting on the Lord Hestons day will become the some what of a norm. Things that have not changed is Fred G's sponsor of Jameson Irish Whiskey, Lisa still stronger than ever, and surely Sauvies Island will be for skybusters, even though they made a new law, some things just have to stay the same thank Heston. Lisa has a new and improved bed, made of top notch wood and sturdy 3/4 inch plywood, looking forward to some real early mornings at Sauvies. With lots of new equipment at the ready and so are we, Andy and Myself, we are ready to cast out old demons in search of new. Come back often and stay informed, some things may have changed this year...or not.
