Sportsman's Corner POST SPAWN BASS After bass leave their beds their mood can range from savagely aggressive to totally lockjawed. There is no set pattern and all sorts of lures can work now. Start looking for post-spawn bass by locating vacated beds. Some bass hang around the edges after spawning. A 6-inch finesse worm works good by shaking and quivering it through the old nest. Also try a shallow ditch or Welsey Piper shot this nice gobbler, with a 12 gauge shotgun, in Gaffney, SC during his very fi rst hunting trip.

The fish hold around stumps, bushes, laydown trees, and weeds. Some will only be in a foot of water, others will be deep. If the fish are shallow and it's early, try a buzzbait. When the sun gets up, go to a floating- diving minnow-style lure. Cast it tight to cover and keep twitching until the bass takes it. Don't get hung up on one lure or pattern. Keep your options open and experiment. Edwin Evers is a member of the Bass Pro Shops® National Fishing Team For more tips, log onto basspro.com 0 % fo r 60 month s Hail Damage, Dents?

Whether you hunt, fi sh, hike, bike, run, play sports, garden, or simply mow your grass, it feels empowering to engage in all of these un- der the clear skies and in the clean air of springtime. While fall will mesmerize us with its panoramas, spring will moti- vate us with its pursuits. It is the season of life and the preparation that comes with it. The birds will build their nests; the animals will give birth to their young; and the trees and plants will unfold their blankets of green that perfectly match a sparkling blue sky. It is a painting that has been supernaturally brushed. A few mornings of late, I have been able to observe the wakening of the day. I have stood on a hill as the sun begins to rise, listening for the familiar sound of a gobbling turkey. His alarm might be the loudest but it is not the only sound that comes from the surrounding woods. After a few days of listening, one can almost predict the order in which each creature will make itself known. The smaller birds will be the fi rst to sing their songs. The tom turkey, along with a distant rooster from a nearby farm will gobble and crow respectively. And then a few minutes lat- er the caw of the crow will offi cially open the door for a new day.

Perhaps the great- est obstacle for obtaining answers is not in research, but in observation. It is not in being surrounded with much, but little. It is not in being overwhelmed with pos- sibilities but in being overcome with sim- plicity. It is being reminded that we have been given two eyes, two ears, and only one mouth – and while our eyes and ears are open during our most productive times, our mouth is closed except for an occasional moment when it is dropped open in awe from something our eyes and ears have just witnessed. I don't understand everything about God. There are some deep and diffi cult questions that linger within the minds of every honest believer and even every honest skeptic. But I do know that deep within the heart of each of us, is a long- ing to fi nd out if there is a God and what he is like. And every spring, I am remind- ed again as I stand with eyes and ears open, and mouth gaped in amazement, that He is a God of life and that while I have no promise of the quality or quan- tity of my days on earth, I can clearly see through creation that one day there will be a new morning that will give way to a new life. ww outdoortruths.or Utility plus economy The John Deere 5D and 5E Series is where utility meets economy.
