Hey Ralph, thanks for your well wishes! On the mend. Funny, if I felt  good, I’d head out in the chill, feeling even a little under keeps me by the fire. All the best to ya and I hope you get some rain or snow soon. Dwc

One more weeks of late season in my section of PA and I haven’t been out once. Just got over bronchitis and now getting over a cold and I just couldn’t muster sitting in 0 degree weather and think I would get better. Tomorrow and Saturday we’re due for some big winds and highs in the low single digits. Well, maybe next week.  I hope you all are having a great new year! best, david

Had a great ham dinner and we went for a hike along the creek after dinner. There a great roost about a half mile back and we probably saw nearly 15 bald eagles. At times there were 5 circling overhead checking us out before heading into a big white pine up on the ridge. I came home one evening last winter and my son said he saw 26. I wanted to see that! The next evening we counted 16 different birds. The rhododendrons beneath that roost are splattered white. Quite a comeback considering ddt was still used when I was a kid. I didn’t see my first eagle til I was in college in the mid-70s. Quite a day.

It’ll be a balmy 5 degrees for the opener of the later season tomorrow. I’m just hoping the wind isn’t too bad.

All the best to you! Dwc

Ha! David was either too skinny or too smart to play football. Let’s be safe and say too skinny. 129 lb soaking wet asa high school senior. Rifle team was more suited to my style. Just you and ten bulls, earmuffs, in the dark, never, ever any spectators. Perfect.

Ralph, funny how that works. I always think he weather will effect the wood in the bow and it’s always me that crumbles first.

Grumpy, is there an age limit to qualify for a free kids bow or just attitude?

Cheers to an early rise! I was up about 2:30 to make water with the reindeer and took care of Santa’s predawn duties then. I turned off the alarm and was then able to sleep til the kids woke me. Nice change of pace.

You’ve got a fortunate nephew. I look forward to photos of the “real” bow, assuming you’re to follow the course set out in your book. That was a great stump shot. unencumbered by the efforts to make a good shot, he just got it done! We should all be so free. Peace, love and good grub to all!

Celebrating Christmas Eve with one of this year’s backstraps on the grill. Late season archery and flinters starts up Tuesday.

I wish you all a wonderful holiday season. Whatever you celebrate enjoy well deserved peace and good health. Best wishes, David

I just finished From Here to Eternity and then The Short Timers, the book that inspired Full Metal Jacket. I love military history and military fiction, but I’m pretty full up following the Bleak Trail for now. I think I’ll pick up Sand County again to restore another part of me. I’m still working on The Island Within, slurping off delicious sips of that trying to make it last. dwc

my wife takes a shot of that every day and she’s the healthiest one in the house. I wimped out but now that I’m recovering from bronchitis and missing the opening day of orange season I think I better pull my boots on and join the fun. Thanks for the reminder. Dwc

R2, ouch! I feel your pain. I saw a tee shirt one time that read, old age isn’t for wimps! But what about us young guys? I think it was Jimmy Blackmon who suggested a simple paracord loop to allow the bow to leap from the hand upon release. That might give you a better sense of security to shoot your favorite old bow. Best wishes, dwc
