I look forward to deer season as it means I get the chance to stock up the freezer with some meat that I know where it came from and how it was handled on its way to some packaging. My youngest got his first deer tonight which means the pressure is off for getting one …
Tomorrow is the first day we actually get to head out and spend some time in the woods to do some hunting. Deer or no deer it is going to be a great day. There are few things better than getting to unplug from everything and go be a part of nature for the day. …
