It's hard to believe the month of November is almost over. What happened to September ?. What a great deer season it has been, taking a nice deer in Missouri, a trip to Iowa and of course deer hunting here in Wisconsin. This year definitely ranks up there in the top 5 as far as deer hunting goes when we talk bowhunting it's #1. It's not about the harvest of an animal as much as soaking up and enjoying the experience as a whole. Spending time with friends, making new friends and sharing stories makes the experience complete. Being able to harvest a deer is a bonus. Sometimes we need to take a step back reflect and appreciate the opportunities we have we have to enjoy the great sport of deer hunting. I still plan to get out a day or 2 and fire up the TC smokepole. Remember to stop using excuses to not get out and enjoy the outdoors instead think of reasons to get out and participate. I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable 2010 gun hunt. Tune in this week to hear from the boys from No Excuses and on December 8th Andy, Randy and I will wrap up the 2010 deer hunting season.

Hard to believe the 2010 gun deer season is less than 30 days away. But for now archery season is in full swing. I had a chance to get out after a long day behind the computer. Took a ride to Iola to check the cameras and spend a hour in the stand. With the moon in the full stage ny guess is that they will be out all night. Saw 1 small 6 point, 1 doe with a fawn and 15 turkeys. I did not see any scrapes as I normally do. I did doctor up some old scrape sights with Wall Hanger from James Valley. We will see what that does over the next week. Plenty of pics on the cameras though. . The predator camera has both audio and video capabilities. It rocks, it puts a whole new spin on game cameras.

What a great weekend up at the Post lake cottage. Did a little duck hunting(1 Mallard) there were not many ducks around. Saw a few Mallards and some hen wood ducks. Spent most of the hunting time looking for the elusive Ruffed Grouse. My nephew Dan and I chased around some birds. We had 10 flushes and took 4 birds. Dan shot all 4, sharing your passion for the outdoors with someone you care about that's what it's all about. Also spent some quality time with my family and had a great meal at our favorite local eatery(Wolf's). If you love the fall season get up and get outdoors and enjoy the colors. The picture is of Dan with his double on Grouse, CONGRATULATIONS and I was there.

We took our annual going back to school outing on Friday to Noah's Ark. What fun that was, a beautiful day and time with the family a win win situation. I have to admit though the only ride I went on was the lazy river (I'm getting old you know). On our way we stopped at Ship Rock, a natural rock formation that has over 300 stairs to the top for a breathtaking view. It's located about 7 miles west of Coloma. There are markings on the rocks of all the travelers passing by that go back hundreds of years. Get out and explore some of Wisconsin's Natural beauty.

She was fun and gave us a great insight to how the Crush CLICK HERE came to where it is today.
