Now that turkey season is behind us, watching grand kids play sports is upon us.  Recently my wife and I went to see our granddaughter Ava play “T”-ball.  In the above picture she looks like a pro getting ready to field the ball.
The league she plays in (Carleton Mi.) has some really good ideas about [...]

Six days ago we had a little 5 year old girl, Nevaeh Buchanan, disappear from her apartment complex.  The first day our local newspaper reported on her plight, there was also an article about our prison systems problem with overcrowding.  In this article it stated that the state had no choice, but to release convicted [...]

Webster’s dictionary defines memorial as “something that keeps alive the memory of a person or event.  The last Monday in the month of May is the day our country has set aside, to honor our fallen war hero’s.  We all need to take time to reflect on what those brave men and women did to [...]

This is Mary, my nephew Derek’s wife.  As a kid she wanted to be a ballerina like most little girls.  Her parents could of never imagined her beaming from ear to ear, over the huge tom turkey she just shot, all by herself!  In fact it’s hard for her to put into words the metamorphosis [...]

Now here’s a real turkey!  No.  The one with the feathers silly!  This big Tom fell to my model 870 Remington Tuesday morning around 9:15 a.m.  I had the third hunt, which started the day before (Monday) and was hunting on property I found at “southernmichiganhuntinglease.com.”  The property has some wet area’s to negotiate, but [...]

This little baby bunny rabbit would of been history, had I not caught a glimpse of it just before my riding mower would of ended his young life.  At this time of year when people are cutting their grass, for the first time, some rabbits aren’t as fortunate as this little fella.  He was in [...]

Sorry about the length of time between post, but I couldn’t find anyone to fill in for me while I was in sunny Florida.  We just got back yesterday (Sunday) and unfortunately didn’t bring any warm weather or sunshine with us.  We did however bring back some wonderful memories.  The above picture is the focus [...]

Steelhead action heating up in Michigan, even if the weather is still cool.  These fish were caught by my pal Bill Michaud and myself on the “Big Manistee” not very far from the Tippy dam.  We put in at High Bridge then motored upstream, fishing a few holes on the way.  There wasn’t a whole [...]

Just had to share this photo of a very rare albino moose.  This beautiful aberration was seen in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula near the town of Marenisco in Gogebic county.  From what I can gather from the story there were four moose feeding along the highway, with two of them being their normal color, and two [...]
