   All across the country, deer seasons are coming to a close. The weather is cold, and antlers are dropping. The Indianapois Colts are gearing up to play the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl XLIV which promises to be an offensive showdown (Call your "bookie" the Colts will win by 3 in OT). I personally had the worst deer season I've ever had - which doesn't change a thing about the excitement for next Fall.

 However, every ending signals a new beginning. And that is exactly why God gave us Shed Antler Season. In the next day or so (serious this time!) I'll have up some shed hunting tips, tricks and links that will help you find some bone this year.

Willie Urish Field Journal: "Summer on the Porch" 

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said "Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience".  I found Mr. Emerson's words to be on point this past Summer.

After long days in the shop working on trailers, each evening brought a nice, and relaxing celebration.  I'd come home to the cabin, start the grill, grab a beer and sit on our rocking bench......and watch. Binoculars by my side, I watched the birds and the occasional deer or turkey meander through our vast CRP field.
