Just in time for Thanksgiving....

We have had turkey visiting us for the past few days.....I guess they know thanksgiving is right around the corner, so they have been sticking close to houses where they are safe! Last Sunday we took a ride after I got off work. We started making our way up to the trailhead to St. Marys Lookout....but we did not get the whole way up to the top before it got dark....oh well....there's always another day. I would like to hike to the lookout....there is a guy posted there during the summer (fire) season...just him, his supplies and his dog...that's pretty much it! On our way up to the top we spotted this nice buck! By eastern standards he was a nice 9 point, by western standards he was a nice 4 x 5...kinda like the point system for elk.....Which out he "general big game" season opened at the end of October and runs until the end of November...which means you can hunt whitetail, mulies, elk....and I think moose as well. But I can't even begin to tell you the special tags you need. I know for moose.....there is a lottery drawing....if you get a tag, irregardless whether you get a moose (bull or doe(?)) you cannot be eligible for another drawing for 7 years! I know because Gary and Lori's son drew a moose tag last year and got a female. Also please note.....NO SNOW!! We do not have a single inch of snow and the weather has been really mild over the past week....in the high 50's!

The views from St. Marys road were amazing...I can't wait to hike to the lookout tower!
