Well guys and gals, you’ve probably noticed that I haven’t posted in a couple of days and that I also haven’t posted a podcast this weekend on the Up North Journal site. We were hit early Sunday morning with a huge wind storm that knocked out power. It is now Monday evening and we still don’t have power! We probably won’t get it back until Wednesday, the way they are talking now. So If you don’t see many or any posts in the next couple of days, be patient, I will have plenty to write about once we get back up and running. As for now I’m posting this at work and will be checking in tomorrow from work also. Take care!

In a recent post I wrote a few random thoughts that were prevailing through my cluttered mind recently. One of those thoughts was “Why does the weather change every time I want to go hunting?” Today is no different, it is raining and the temps are in the 50’s. So much for ice fishing today or anytime in the near future for that matter. Read the rest of this entry »

It seems as if there is a website devoted to every activity there is now. Tent campers and RV campers are no exception. I stumbled across a website devoted to the camping world that covers everything from campsites, reviews, and recipes for the outdoor enthusiast.

Now that all the paper has been ripped off the gifts and the kids are already complaining that they are bored, it is time to see what everyone got this Christmas season. Did you get anything cool this year from ‘ol St. Nick? Were you a good little hunter or angler this year or did you get some deer droppings in your stocking?
We didn’t do too bad this year. My son Mikey got a lot of the goose hunting items he had been wanting. Santa brought him a dozen full body goose decoys from greenhead gear. He also got a layout blind with a new call, goose flag, goose dvd, and new avery’s hat. I got a new Mossy Oak Treestand hat that I had been wanting along with three new hunting books that I have been wanting to read. Once I get them done I will be writing reviews on those as well.
So lets here it, whadjya get for Christmas?

I was sitting around pondering some thoughts today. Nothing major just a few random ideas going through my head, so I thought I would pass them along for all of you to ponder as well. Let us know your thoughts on the items below!
Why does it seem to switch weather when I want to hunt?
Why do hunters feel they have a right to the animals they don’t own, instead of it being a privilege?
Why does that buck stop just one step short of my range?
People should consider their season a success even if they don’t take home game.
We should be thankful for the time we got out into the field instead of complaining about the times we didn’t get out.
Practice makes perfect!
Why is it when a duck quacks it sounds like they are laughing at me?
Have you ever felt like the hunted instead of the hunter?
While hunting, did you ever wonder what it was like to be a hunter 200 years ago?
Do you ever worry about what hunting will be like 200 years from now?

Now we know that hunters are great trackers, but on this evening we need a little help tracking the big fella! So I have provided you sportsmen a little help!
Here is a list of a few of the Santa Claus trackers so you little hunters or anglers can follow the progress of ‘ol St. Nick. Don’t stay up too late though and dads don’t be breaking out the shotgun thinking your going to bag that big buck this year after all! Santa doesn’t like dodging buck shot!
Merry Christmas To All And To All A Good Night!
