Weather plays an important part in the success of any hunt. One of the most famous weather indicators is Pauxatauny Phil of Gobblers Knob, Pennsylvania. Every February 2nd Phil tells us whether or not to expect a continuance of winter for the next 6 weeks. We have a weather indicator closer to home called Cornwall Carl. Carl does not seek the fame and fortune afforded to Phil. He is more pragmatic. He seeks loaf bread as compensation for his predictions. If Carl eats 1/2 loaf of bread, spring is here. If he eats an entire loaf, winter will continue for another 6 weeks. Carl resides at my Dad's backyard in Cornwall.
