I would like to take a moment to thank all the hunters who made this year’s opening weekend a safe one again. I have never in my life been able to see so many Bucks and Does crossing the roadways near my land. Going to the dump at 8am I almost got ran over by two bucks flat out running across the road with a doe in toll. Lucky I got new brakes, the bucks made it across the road but the doe turned and ran back into the woods. Than an hour later I was coming back down the same road and this huge buck with 14 points and two drop tines crossed in front of me, so I turned around to get a better look at him as he crossed a plowed field. I met him at the next town road and he ran right next to my car, and before I could get my camera out of the case, he turned and headed back to the woods he came out of. One other question for you hunters, has anyone seen anyone wearing the Hot Blaze Pink hunting clothes??? With the weather to warm up a little bit more this holiday weekend, it should be putting more families into the field, so please remember the rules of safe gun handling. I wish everyone out there good luck and please remember, the life you save, might be yours, so use good judgment and common sense, no deer is worth a human life. Just think, here we have hundreds of thousands of people with firearms and we do not see the amount of killings like they do in neighborhoods of Milwaukee or Chicago. Makes you wonder why cities run by Democrats seem to always want to ban firearms and look how wonderful it’s here in Wisconsin with all the guys with firearms enjoying a sport that families have done for hundreds of years and feed their families with the meat. Good Luck and remember to BE SAFE.


I see that Howard Stern backs Trump’s plan for Interstate Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Law. This law has been NRA’s number one legislative agenda item for several years. Howard Stern used the considerable reach of his Sirius XM platform on Tuesday to voice his support for a national interstate concealed carry reciprocity law. Hopefully once Trump is sworn into office, both houses of Congress and Trump can get it passed.

I can’t understand how so many people can be allowed to skip out of school to protest Trump’s election and the President claims it’s okay to cause disorder in the streets like he did this past week. There was one particularly disturbing incident, a mother brutally shamed her 7 year old son in an online video for voting for Trump in a mock election at his elementary school, insisting he was no longer welcome at home.  All students who walked out of classes to protest, should be given F’s in all classes not attended during school hours, and college professors should have their wages docked for not conducting classes as scheduled. Everyone has a Right to protest, but not during school hours that disrupt normal class hours of others.

With all that being said, I wish all readers a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday shoppers good luck. Please don’t eat too much, and my diet will be placed on hold for one day, please pass the ham. Ha!
