This past Friday morning,
as night greyed into dawn, I
was gently prodded. awake
by the unusually cool
morning air reaching
through the bedroom
window. Slipping into an
old pair of jeans, I hurried
outside, shirtless and bare-
foot. As I stood in the dew
covered grass, I could see it,
feel it and taste it. All of
nature stirred awake, aware
of it. The early morning air

had brought that refreshing
message - fall will soon be
here. My old hunting dog
Pipe came out to stand
beside me as we together
felt the promise that the
oppresive summer doldrums
would soon be pushed aside
for fall.
As 1 stood there with the
morning air raising goose-
bumps on my bare back,
memories began to stir deep
inside, memories that feel
as if they go back many

autumn in the air now
generations, perhaps to the
earliest of hunters. . The
promise of fall triggers the
desire to be off into the
woods and field with the
familiar feel of my old
Browning's walnut stock in
my hands.
The hot summer. sun will
return with its oppresive
heat, but the promise has
been given and the outdoors
will not be fooled. He can
see through the veneer.
Summer is on the way out.
The last vestiges of summer
will peel away just as surely
as the velvet will rub off the
antlers of the local white-
tailed buck. Fall will be as
sharp and bright as the six
tines he is now so carefully
rubbing on several maple
saplings.
We outdoorsmen are no-
ticing the signs and in our
minds anxiously collecting
them. We seem to want
reassurance that fall and
hunting season are not too
far away. The signs are
increasingly plentiful as we
move through August. We
see the barn swallows
collecting, the purple

duck families are incorpora-

Visiting fellows such as the
blue-winged teal are seen
here and there about the
river. The squirrels are
cutting down the green
hickory nuts, vigorously
working at building a layer
of fat.
As the signs increase our
anxiety mounts. Dogs are
going to need training,
shooting reflexes must be
practiced into sharpness,
and excuses for buying new
equipment will need to be
manufactured so that the
wife will believe that we
really need it.
There will be more
mornings with the taste of
fall on the air, but non quite
as stimulating as the first
one that starts the stirring
deep inside and reminds us
to look about nature with
expectation. In the chill that
rides on the morning air, we
hear the call and feel the
promise that the frosty
hunters moon will come.
