Nice job Don. Syruping is over here and southern Ohio, but the next addiction I know you'll relate to is coming. All I'll say is the turkeys were hollering behind the house today...whoohooo.....then it's off to the lakes for fishing after that, all the good things of spring

I kinda wondered if Don was a turkey hunter with that camo on. You too buckeye? Me too since the late 70's. Actually a registered turkey hunting guide for the last 20. Probably a whole bunch more here are too..somethin about maple sugaring and hunting just go together somehow. Good luck this spring. Nothin gobblin here yet but won't be long! :cool:
