I'm afraid I don't have all the proper rangery gear yet, my bow's a cheap modern horsebow - but that's no excuse to stay indoors. Off we go!
Hopping past the far hayfield into the woods, I got a nice "Skyrim's Eye View" for a moment - no dragons though.
Down past the trees in the far valley is a small pond, still covered in slushy treacherous ice - best not to walk there!
Going up the next ridge the dogs are having a grand time tearing through the woods -
After topping the ridge, I need a break - I lay down my wool hood as an impromptu groundcloth, set my little coustille in the snow so it's not sticking my ribs, and take in the view -
(I seriously need to make a decent carriage for that thing. It was just thrust through my belt, and once the scabbard slipped out leaving the naked (sharp!) blade exposed. Not safe!)
I'm still getting used to these woods, and ended up getting "bewildered" enough to miss the intersection with the clearing our archery target is in - but it was a happy accident, because I came across more deer and turkey sign! I think I might need to finally look into a hunting license this year... I promised my fella he'd get the first hunt on our land though.
After that I backtracked enough to find familiar territory, then made it home. Time to go grind some wheat and make homemade bread!
