It is a grand sight, eagles, lots of them, here in Michigan. 200 eagles have made the area around a Monroe country power plant their winter home. DTE, along with Ducks Unlimited, have done a lot of work over recent years to improve habitats on lands owned by DTE. DTE is a major contributor to...

Ducks Unlimited has put out it's late winter Canadian nesting ground report and over all it look pretty good. There is good snow pack over much of the nesting grounds. This could be another banner year for waterfowl. All the work being done by conservation groups like Ducks Unlimited, Delta...

Stopped in and visited with a man who was Ex-ASA as myself. I did not know him when I was in, met him online. He and his wife were very nice and easy to talk with. Glenn and I sat around telling "war" stories" about our ASA days. It was wonderful to speak to someone who spoke the same language...

This fine young man SHOULD be an example for all young people. He gave of himself for the betterment of others. His sacrifice, at such a young age, should be an inspiration to everyone. One can only imagine what this person may have accomplished with a full lifespan since he rose to such a high...

Found a good price, by today's standards, on 5.56MM ammunition. It brass cased, not steel, 62GR FMJ. $720 for non-club members, $684 for members. The prices are for 1500 rounds. Worth a look if you need any. .223 (5.56x45mm) Rifle Ammo | .223 (5.56x45mm)rifle Ammunition At Sportsman's Guide

This was a good, interesting article about a die off of shore birds, and eagles, until they threw in a paragraph that was totally wrong. What was the purpose of saying that lead shot is used to hunt waterfowl, though it was ruled out? Lead shot has been illegal for waterfowl hunting for more...

If any of you vanners or sprinter types find yourself near Glen Rock, PA, tonight, stop in and see the Glen Rock Carolers. They have been doing Christmas right since 1848. It is a remarkable bunch. We have many old friends with that bunch. http://www.glenrockcarolers.org

It must be REALLY cold in Michigan. I just saw a "little report" noting that Michigan deer are already "yarding up", their conservation of energy mode, much earlier than normal. Not good. Starvation may be a problem this year. The problem with the cold will be compounded by the expanding areas...

My father is being recognized at tomorrow night's city council meeting in Riverview, MI, for his service in WWII. Sure wish there was some way to be there.

This is what it looks like when you do things right. It was an almost perfect day to layout hunt. 45 degrees, a near perfect "layout wind" and we were in "the spot" for conditions. I took 6 in 20 minutes in the layout. What a day!

We tend to make our "holidays" into days for sales at the stores or parties. Here is the Proclamation by George Washington on Thanksgiving. It this holiday was proposed today, it would not exist. Thanksgiving Proclamation[New York, 3 October 1789] By the President of the United States of...

ALGORE and "Global Warming" strikes again. I went down to the marina yesterday to check ice conditions. There was NO ice. None around the boats, none in the channel out to Lake Erie. SO. We decided to go out this morning. We got down to the marina this morning to find the boats and the channel...

Just got back from up north. A freezer that was once void of venison is now full again. All is right with the world. Now it's back to planning a duck hunt or two, starting Wed weather permitting. Ducks Unlimited called us wanting us to do a duck hunt for an official of the Oregon Fish and...

It was 38 years ago today that the "Gales of November" on the Great Lakes took another ship and 29 more lives. The Edmund Fitzgerald went down on Lake Superior. I watched that boat on the "River" many times when fishing out there and my brother unloaded her a couple of time when he was at Great...

It was 100 years ago today that the "White Hurricane" hit the Great Lakes. It was the worst storm on the Great Lakes ever recorded by man. It sunk 12 ships and killed 250 people. The "Gales of November" are often bad on the Lakes, it is bad out there today but nothing like it was 100 years ago...
