Snow, sleet, wind and a confused basement sump pump here in northern New England, as turkey seasons open in several states around the country. Texas is five weeks away for me, while other hunting buddies are getting into the game sooner than that.
This Jame H. Killen painting of turkeys in winter ("Fresh Snow," it's called) depicts just about how things look locally. It's from a 1981 wild turkey calendar my parents sent along for my collection.
