At The End of a Hunting Year

An End of a Hunting Year

At the end of a hunting year

When the weather changes from warm to cold

And the hunter’s moon sets lower in the mid-night sky

Stories are told some good some sad

Another year has gone; three camps dwindle to two camps,

One moves on to warmer weather, to make new memories,

They leave behind their hunting family,

The memories of hunting with their dad and friends;

At the end of a hunting year

When the weather turns from warm to cold

And the hunter’s moon sets lower in the mid-night sky

Stories are told some good some sad

Poems are written of our hunting years like:

Clayton’s Camp, SixXSix, There’s something,

Camp Dreams,

Misty Morning and a Hunter Favorite

At the end of a hunting year

When the weather turns from warm to cold

And the hunter’s moon sets lower in the sky

Stories are told some good some sad

Friends and family from town come to visit.

Some in AHHH of this old outfit

Poker games are played, Bonfires are built

S’mores are cooked.

Big game: deer and Elk

Swing from the meat pole is a sign of the

Hunt was good

At the end of a hunting year

When the weather turns from warm to cold

And the hunter’s moon sets lower in the mid-night sky

Stories are told some good some sad

There will always be a time

Clayton mingles through camp

You can feel his presents

Open the door pulls up a chair

Stoke the fire, old boy; pull the blankets up,

Standing over us while a wedding takes place

He’s got his dog, his view and a dream catcher

He is surely missed but never forgotten

At the end of a hunting year

When the weather turns from warm to cold

And the hunter’s moon sets lower

In the Mid-night Skies
