I rarely shoot them here and enjoy watching them. I have seen 18 at a time in the apples. I have nothing clever to put here.

Great weather for the bobcat and fisher opener. I like the forecast I'm seeing better then yours! It's showing 4"-8" over the duration of the storm. That's more then enough!! We certainly do need the below zero temps to get my logging road froze.

For some reason walking the woods in the fall and early winter hunting grouse really seems to me one with nature. I don't use a dog so it is more exercise. Especially as I get older. My success rates are much lower but the good feeling is still there. Bryce

As for this most recent storm that's supposed to kill us all. I thought them folks out west were begging for some moisture? Get their lakes filled again. We're a bit dry here but I'm ok with them keeping it all west. Mac "Never Forget Which Way Is Up"

It looks like I will be paying you a visit. I am overrun with turkeys, however. Last edited by MnMan; 12/12/22 02:08 PM. I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!
