Empty Purple Hulls


Silas and I took a walk early Sunday morning on Game Land 191, Erie county. The weather was beautiful, warm and calm. I have a small silver turkey bell I have been wearing on him in the field. I can here it quite well and he seems to enjoy it because it means we are going for a walk. We are able to go for 20-30 minutes before he seems to tire. I am fortunate to live where I can let him off the leash to really run a bit without fear of him running onto a road. We are always along dirt roads that get very little travel. He responds quite well to the whistle; two blasts and he checks back. I ran into some empty 16 gauge shells on our walk, two of them. I don't see many empty shotgun shells and even fewer 16 gauge shells anymore. I like to see them as they tell a little story of other hunters that passed by the same way at one time or another. I often wonder what they shot at and if they hit or missed. The second photo above shows our view at the truck. The view is long.
