A cold wait
Hoping to follow up on the previous day’s hunting success, I took Elettra and Mia on an afternoon hunt. Although we had a brief respite from the deep freeze (last night’s temp dropped to -17), the wind chill was still … Continue reading
Bald Eagle delivers duck
In what was clearly my most unique duck hunt, a Bald Eagle dropped a duck right into our laps, so to speak. Our week of sub-zero temperatures finally broke and even though there was a light wind and snow throughout … Continue reading
Christmas miracle moon
It seems kinda fitting that the full moon on Christmas Day would lead to a small miracle for our neighbor’s cat. It began a week ago when our neighbors went on a Christmas vacation, and we volunteered to watch their … Continue reading

Lost bird
Our son-in-law and I took Elettra on what was probably my last Pheasant hunt of the year. Tracks in the recent snow told us that there were birds in the area and it wasn’t long before we flushed a big … Continue reading
