Editor’s note: This column was written before the end of the spring turkey season.
The COVID-19 stay-at-home scare started just as the spring turkey season opened. What a terrible thing! But Governor Greg Abbott also said, “Get outside. Walk. Hike. Go fishing. Just don’t do it in groups.” So I took him at his word and have been doing lots of hunting and fishing.
But I have had to make a few adjustments. One of my turkey hunting friends is paranoid and in his “house prison.” One of my fishing pals is afraid of me. Social distancing. He won’t get in the boat with me or any of his fishing friends. He is paralyzed with fear.
