The good news is I can blog today. The bad news is my computer will not be up and running for about another week. My daughter let me use her laptop, but there are limits to how long I can use it.
Tonys been getting some pictures of deer around his small woods, and when I get them I’ll post em. One is a nice little buck. Also seen one around our house along with a big tom and a hen. It’s a good thing I’ve got one in the freezer already.
I’d like to wish you veterans, and their families a blessed Memorial Day. We have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness because of the sacrifice of those military men and women who gave up their future so we could have ours. Thanks brothers Randy and Darryl, who both served in Viet Nam, while I stayed state-side in a training unit. I have paused over the last several days to reflect on those young men, that I knew, who never came home to their loved ones. What gratitude we owe them and their families. Cut down in the prime of their lives, so we could live to “old age!” You are worthy to be remembered veterans.
You Michigan readers don’t forget the elk and bear applications are available for this fall. One of these years I’d love to draw that coveted elk permit. Maybe this is the year.

You know even though we honor our Veterans on memorial day I don’t think it does them justice and I don’t think the majority of people understand what these Vets went through to give us the life we enjoy today.
I’m in total agreement with you on your memorial day thoughts Mike.
Best of luck on the applications – someone gets them so it mights well be you.
