How much is ‘safe’ ice?

I have received several requests from people asking me about “safe” ice. I guess several folks are anticipating the chance to go ice fishing, and several people received new ice skates for Christmas gifts. They want to know about going ice skating on farm ponds, retention ponds, and maybe even skating on some creeks behind their house.

Another deer season comes to an end

Another deer season comes to an end

Yep. Sad, but true. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity for deer season to arrive, it has managed to end. This is the time of year I normally like to look back and recall events that influenced my successes or failures and think of what I could have done differently. Sometimes this helps, and other times it just adds to the realization that the deer simply are smarter than me.

You need a Bullseye pocket air inflator

How many times have you been driving and suddenly the low tire pressure indicator light comes on? What can you do? Well, it is difficult to find a service station that has an outside air hose anymore, and unless you are carrying a air compressor with you, you could be out of luck!

Deer hunting isn’t only for men

Deer hunting isn’t only for men

I have noticed a tremendous increase in the number of female deer hunters, and I, for one, am amazed and happy to see it. For many years, it was accepted that deer hunting was strictly for men!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Well folks, just glancing at the calendar and walking through a number of local businesses, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! It seems like just a few weeks ago summer attire, suntan lotion, and fishing tackle were adorning all the aisles, but now Christmas trees and decorations, Christmas cards, and Black Friday advertisements are everywhere.
