Thankful…for the tag!

This Thanksgiving, there are many things I am thankful for; my family, my friends, good job, good health… but I am thankful that I get to spend so much time with my dad in the fall as we hunt. As you can see, it paid off! I shot a 10 pointer this morning. I will give you the complete story in my next blog (and I will show you more pictures) but until then thank you to each and every one of you that reads my little blog and leaves me encouraging comments.
Hope you are enjoying Thanksgiving weekend!!!

Part 1: Getting to the Bear’s Den

Mount Katahdin from Route 11 in Maine. I had been awake for five hours when we pulled into the IFW office in Ashland at 8am.  It was deceivingly beautiful out with the bright sun and deep blue sky but the wind kept the temperatures close to single digits. ...
