wabigoon;
Good afternoon sir and Happy Canuck Thanksgiving to you since you're an honorary one and all.

This is the first time in at least 30 years that it's just my wife and I for Thanksgiving as our eldest daughter and her husband are in Montreal for a friend's wedding and our youngest is working at her part time job while she's attending the University of Victoria. Both of our Moms are in care facilities and at a point where we can't transport them any longer, so we visited both of them today, but it's just us for Thanksgiving Dinner.

This morning, I took a quick trip into a little pocket on the mountain behind the house that's produced at least a dozen mulie bucks for us over the years, but all I saw was an overstuffed black bear and though I'm packing a tag, there's no way I was going to be packing him out of that particular spot. Deer are bad enough....

Anyway sir, like as not I'll get up before the chickens tomorrow morning too and drive further up the mountain to see if I can intersept any early migrating mulie bucks or even a resident whitetail buck. Failing that, I'll take my rifle for a walk in some gorgeous country, so all in all that's not a bad way to spend a weekend.

All the best to you and yours wabigoon and Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian 'Fire brethren - and of course those who want to celebrate with us as well.

Dwayne
