What have I been up to? It has been the busiest fall and now it’s almost winter!
I had a great trip home to Northeastern Pennsylvania, and I made the most of the trip by enjoying the outdoors on the family farm where I grew up. Walks in the woods, a little rabbit hunting, canoeing on our lake, shooting clays and targets, and not catching fish to name a few. But nothing was better than spending time with my family! Mid-October is an incredible time to take in the beauty of the leaves and the clean mountain air!
No matter where I am, enjoying the outdoors is incredibly important to me. I am so happy that I was raised to appreciate all that nature provides, and I am committed to helping preserve our hunting and shooting traditions for all the future generations to come.
Now, it’s time to get that whitetail deer I have been after, better known as Mr. Big! We have until January 1st to hunt deer in South Carolina, so there is still an opportunity. See y’all outdoors!

Maggie–I’m not sure this will work–I always have trouble commenting, and it’s nothing but total ineptitude on my part. Anyway, I’ll try.
Enjoyed your musings, as always, and you’ve been a busy gal. Hope there’s a deer or two (maybe prime does) in your family freezer and that you are getting in plenty of hunting.
I had good success in October and November was an absolute bust. I’m hunting a lot and seeing nothing.
All the best to you and your family for Christmas.

Hi Jim! So great to hear from you and I am glad you enjoyed my post! Yes, between my sweet little grands and hunting, I have been quite busy. My trip home was one of the fall highlights as we lucked out with the leaves on full display!
I have to admit, I have put out more corn than ever, and though I am seeing some bucks, they are young and I let them walk. I am glad you had some early success. I just finished reading your November newsletter, and as always, your family memories and recollections are warm and delightful! Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and if you are ever in the “hood”, please let me know! Best, Maggie
