Well, we have had nice weather the last couple of days; temps in the 40's and the trees are losing most of their leaves now. There are a few duck hunters out and about. Ducks are starting to come down now. I put in my order for a few more blaze orange vests, stocking hats and some gloves. We got most of the hunting stuff out this weekend.
Deer hunting seems to be the major topic now. We will be having our biggest buck and doe contest again this year, for rifle season. Entry fee is $5.00. Biggest buck prizes are: lst place, a Remington Model 715 300 Winchester Magnum; 2nd place, a $50.00 gift certificate and 3rd place a Bear & Sons buck knife. Biggest doe, 1st place is an Optima Pro .50 caliber muzzleloader and 2nd place a $50.00 gift certificate. Hunters must register by the end of the business day, November 7, 2008 and prizes will be awarded November 24, 2008.
There are still a few walleye fishermen out. Some guys are doing well in deep water. If the sun is shining, it's nice to be out on the water. Just remember to bring that extra coat along and like my Gramma Myrt always said, "Put on those snuggies!"
Please stop in and say Hi when your up in our area.
Good fishing and hunting!
