Believe it or not...I'm still alive. Our move is complete and the wireless internet service is FINALLY up and running at my house. Unforturnately, I have some time at work to post but for some reason or another (probably the firewall) I cannot submit anything from the website. I can get to it and view everything but when it comes to posting, it boots me out and acts as though I am a guest.

Anyway, I'm back in business now. CONGRATS Kelly...great deer!!! It looks like we're off to a good start. I was catching up on the posts and it looks like for most of us, the season hasn't even began. I start hunting October 1st. Luckily, behind the old farm-house we just bought, the old owners own about 220 acres; all riverbottom. The elderly gentlemen apparently took a liking to me since he told me that I have sole hunting rights to the entire thing.....UNBELIEVABLE!!! That was biggest worry about moving a couple hours away from what I was used to. I kept wondering, "where am I going to do my hunting". Not only that but the further north you go in Michigan, the more number of people that hunt.

I managed to get five tree stands set last weekend and with some help from the guy that used to hunt the same property, I think I've got a few winners out here. Acorns are starting to fall already and it's starting to really cool off. I just finished mowing my grass and I could actually see my breath at about 8pm.

Well, that's all for now...I'll talk to you all soon and GOOD LUCK!!!
