Last post for the next week or so. In the early morning heading up to Michigan's upper peninsula with the pre war stith wearing 99 R to let the air out of a deer thats willing to step out in front of a 150 grain Nosler partition. Bout a 7.5 hour trip, Stopping at Tonys at Birch Run exit for a gallon of hunters chile and a side of bacon. Their side of bacon is a styrofoam dinner to-go container so full you can't close the lid without staples. Most Michiganders are in the know when Tonys is involved. State wide renowned. Hope for a good season since its my last going to this lot. Sold as of December 1st.
Good luck and safe hunting to all.

Nan and I are headed to Anticosti EARLY Saturday morning. 2 weeks gone. LOTS of snow again this year. Not sure if we'll be snowmobiles or 4 wheelers. Depends on snow conditions. Hell, we're still eating deer meat from LAST November.

Good luck, Jerry. I guess the old 303 F just got bumped down a peg?

I am in the UP but going to Indian River for old times sake. Go to Wilson’s cheese shop in Pinconning, MI for real food. I highly recommend medium sharp. For pasties, go to Gram’s Pasties in Escanaba. Skip Tony’s. Just because you get a lot, doesn’t mean it’s good.

All my friends have stocked the fridge with bow and muzzle loader, I passed on several doe. I was waiting for a little buck to cross the creek, but he didn't. My cousin shot a nice 8 with the rack outside of the ears with his crossbow, but couldn't find it. He tracks them best he can for a long time, red green color blind so he doesn't see blood that screams at me. Couple days late he shot another nice 8, that was 158 on the hook. WV opens next Monday. I'm leaving early Friday to hit an auction on the way, then up to camp to settle in.
