Views to the north and south from Pam's stand. North South The glow of the bonfire lighting up the front of the old pickup. We're seeing a few of these tracks again. And finally the mighty hunter with his first kill. All the work I put into teaching him muzzle safety and I look like I'm sticking my face over the little gun barrel Well I do believe I was behind it, still looks bad in the picture though. It was a busy weekend, lots of firewood cut, lots of limbing and mowing. Nate shot a grouse on the trails behind the Cabin Friday evening. We were cooking it when buschpilot and his sidekick came to visit. It was great seeing you guys, good luck on your big fishing trip this coming weekend.
Something clever here.

You guys did quite a bit of work out there last weekend. Looks great around Pam's stand. Went 4 wheeling this weekend. We put on about 60 miles. Well Sounds like Brad and I are headed up north this weekend. But I first have to go in my storage building to get my caramel bar recipe. If I go up there with out them bars again I don't think RWS will be very happy with me.

Forgot to mention that the road held up very well too even with the rain we got last week. It held water in a couple of places so I'll work on improving those 2 spots.
The weather looks great for the coming weekend! Definately sweatshirt/light jacket weather but it's going to be great. And the fall colors should be in full swing by the weekend too.

Awesome weather here this weekend too and boy, did we get our money's worth! Saturday, Lauren and I hooked up with 4 other dads and their kids and went on a goose hunt. With 10 people and half of them kids, I was really wondering on chances for success. Turns out, there was 4 rows of standing corn to sit in. That made all of the difference as it kept the moving kids from being seen from above. And wow, what a hunt! We shot our limit of 15 in about 20 minutes! Then it was off to Big Vehicle day where the kids got to sit in dump trucks, road graders, tractors, ambulances, etc. Then off to the Homecoming parade. Then off to the Homecoming game (we won 26-0). Finally back home to watch the Gophers football ga....debacle. Sunday was more goose hunting (different field and no luck), church, winterize the camper, and then pressure wash the driveway so we can seal it. By 9 on Sunday night, I was sleeping!

Talked to the grandson last night. He landed (With dads help) his first legal salmon Sunday. When I asked him how big it was he said it was about 11 feet.
Well...he tells stories like a fisherman. lol.

Send that sunshine our way Dave. We're not on track to see the sun again until Friday.

Sounds like all of you had a great weekend.Ours was very quiet.Now it's Monday and the kitchen contractor is here banging and sawing away on the kitchen remodeling.I think I'll go hide at the gun store for awhile. We have a busy weekend coming up.Our oldest grandson is getting married to his long time(6 years) steady young lady.She finally graduated from UGA as a veterinarian so now they are going to settle down.We have to travel to the eastern part of the state on Friday for the wedding on Saturday. Next week I'll be muzzle loader hunting for deer.

If you have to take a second shot then you probably shouldn't have taken the first shot.

We have not really decided between the Razor or the wheelers. I'm thinking probly the wheelers. I talked to mom and asked if her and dad were going up there and she was going to talk to him about it.

Brad is a name I do not recognize.... Yep he is new. He is a good friend of the couple I'm living with. They introduced us the first part of August. He hunts, snowmobiles, likes to go 4 wheeling. He also drives GMC pickups (smart man). But I'm sure he will get no grief about that this weekend.

I really think Big D needs to come up. I haven't met your mom yet so I think she needs to come up too. I'm bringing the wheeler, I have to get some goggles for Jack. He's excited, heck, so am I.

Griz, Lauren, at 7 years old, is too young to shoot. She was just along to enjoy the hunt. She did great too. This was her 4th trip and first where we had any success. We got up at 5 am and she was a good little girl. Boy, did she squeal when that first goose hit the ground! She was soooo excited! Every flock that we shot at she would ask all excitedly, Did you get one? Did you get one??

it was 95 here today according to the truck. thursday its supposed to cool off to 68. no rain here for a couple weeks, my winter wheat is sure comin up, so are the oats but the deer are eating them off as fast. hoping for some cool weather! I did manage to see 5 nice bucks today, all over 8 points with a spread of about 16-22". I just need one of them to come by me when I'm huntin wish I was comin up this weekend but I'm joining some other members out here for an antelope hunt, I've been stoked to go ever since eh76 asked me. I get to meet a few members for the first time, and I will be sporting my chickenbuck hat and shirt the whole hunt. standby for pics
