In pursuit of Bambi's mother

There is a little chill in the air, and the freezer is nearly empty. Tomorrow morning at sunrise, Wisconsin's bow season for deer begins again. As everyone knows, the most prized and brag worthy deer are the bucks with antlers of many points. I have been living in WI for about a year. The only antlers I've seen so far were on a deer crossing the road near the Eau Claire country club. I've all but given up bagging a (real) buck this year. Last year I shot Bambi himself. He was a first year deer that hadn't grown any antlers yet. Didn't realize it was male until I gutted him out. I'd always heard the little ones were good eating. Oh Boy are they ever, but there isn't enuff meat to last the year. I just bought beef for the first time in 4 years. So this year, since bucks are too elusive and fawns don't feed the family, its time to cull the big doe. My son, Jeremiah, and I saw a fawn on our walk after dinner tonight. Mom must be near by. The real question is am I going to haul my butt out of bed at 5am tomorrow morning for the opener. I am beginning to doubt it. I might have to go to the library and pick up one of those Christopher Moore books for something to do in the stand. Hunting is tranquil, but boring when you don't see any deer.

I thought of something really neat to post to my blog. By the time I loaded the blog post tool, I forgot what it was.

Driveway tennis

I like to play tennis the driveway with my 5 year old. Do you ?

Blogging is fun.
