Put aside your smartphones, your fitness watches, your quartz clocks. There are better ways of knowing the proper time, at least for a few important things. When the wild turkeys start to gobble, or the first wildflowers emerge from the leaves along the forest floor, it's time. When that first warm February day has you digging in the basement for your box of stored T-shirts, it's time. Time to go shad fishing.
