Title: Winter is here
Post by: Tikaani on September 27, 2009, 11:53:38 AM
Old man winter has arrived here in Alaska.  Wood stove is cranked up this morning.  Back from moose hunting, not a good year, a lot of unfortunate events, still have time though to fill the freezer.  Leaving for a grizzly bear hunt next weekend, try and catch one before they den up.  Will post pictures later.

Hunt hard, Die tired
John

This morning, time to break out the fur and boots

It's just a matter of time before it get's down here.  The leaves are starting to drop and harvest will be starting up this week.  I really like how the woods look right after a fresh now.  Thanks for sharing.

That's more snow than we've had here in the past five years, maybe this year will be better. :eyebrownod:

Good luck with filling the freezer  :eyebrownod: :highclap:

Good luck on your bear hunt, John!   

Here in west Kentucky it was a mild 73 degrees today.   Rained all week so it cooled things off a little.

SNOW is a four letter word.  I don't mind it getting cooler, but I am not ready for snow.  Good luck on your hunts and we will be looking forward to the pictures.
