Yeah, that might be the title of my favorite song but it also describes this year's deer hunting season. For the first time since I don't know when, no one pulled the trigger.
Oh, there were deer. I saw 14 myself and could have shot a few of them, however I was still looking for another buck or a big doe without fawns.
Now the archery season kicks back in for another 5 weeks. Since I have already filled my buck tag, it's a doe or nothing. Wisconsin also has a 4 day does only rifle hunt scheduled 2 weeks from now. I've got plenty of doe tags left so we'll just have to see. Last year the weather turned so cold I didn't bother. Sometimes its just nice to get one in your sights, grin and not pull the trigger. Maybe I'm just getting soft....
We took the granddaughters to Duluth one night over Thanksgiving to attend the light show at Bentleyville. It's down by the harbor, colder than all heck but the lights are spectacular. Free cookies, hot chocolate and coffee and wood fires burning everywhere. People from 1 to 80 all bundled up enjoying the lights. It was cold but no one seemed to mind. These Northlanders do know how to stage a festival. It runs until December 26th I believe so if you get up this way, check it out.
Storms coming so for the first time in 9 days, I'm sleeping in. The bow is ready to go but I need a couple of days off....
