Year Round Lure Of The Lake

The deciding factor in moving to this neighborhood was the nearby lake. My wife and I enjoy paddling canoes and fishing. Its a perfect lake for that. I love spending time outdoors and am always keeping my eyes open for related fun. Through the winter, I watch people ice fish on the lake as I ski by. The thought of ice fishing interests me a lot. I’ve even made some weak attempts.  A jigging rod and a pair of tip-ups have been waiting patiently in a bucket, in a corner of the garage.

It’s A Bit Too Early For Tag Soup

It’s getting to be that time of year.  We started in Wisconsin in mid- September with early bow deer season.  Then we took a break for the gun deer season and now that’s wrapping up in time for the official start of die-hard deer season. I’ve fared pretty well so far this year.  An early season archery doe and an early out-of-state archery buck has me in the game.  But I still wear my Wisconsin archery buck tag on my back.  There’s some quality hunting time left and for some reason, I’m stoked about getting out there in the cold.

The Circle Is Almost Complete

As a sportsman who started from scratch,…in my 20’s, I scrambled to learn what I could about hunting and fishing as fast as I could.  I have learned a lot, and I have a lot more to learn.  However, I am confident in my ability to teach my daughters the lessons they need to enjoy the outdoors the way I do.
