The Morning

On Saturday rain of the previous night washed away old tracks and left only new. As night came on Saturday, Tom found promising prints in the creek bed of Hall's Canyon. Now, after a full night of rain and a light covering of snow in the morning, those tracks are gone. In effect Sunday is not just a do-over, it's a start over. Hunters will be out and Tom's continued pursuit may be detrimental. Once domestic sheep may have returned to their roots and become wild sheep or it's the rutting season where both male and female are at their sexual peak to bring new lambs in the Spring. For today at least, Tom is going to leave things as they are.
