Blogs > Outdoor Notes

I'll be writing about news from Lansing that impacts sportsmen (this means ladies as well), talking about things I find when I go overseas to visit my children, and adding your comments into the mix. Because fishing really interests me, I will tend to concentrate in that area, but will digress on such topics as gun control which is in the news a lot right now, some of the animal rights stuff trying to take some freedoms away from us, ecology, and of course your comments.

Opening day weather-good or bad?

I vote good. DNR wildlife biologist Tim Payne would vote no. "Hunters like it when it's colder and there's snow," he said.
   Quite to the contrary. If I wasn't out trying to get a story to write and didn't have this bum shoulder, I would have said goodbye to my wife about 5:230a.m., took a good lunch, coffee, a couple of waters and snacks and stayed until dark.
   This was a perfect day to hunt, sit around and read, snack, maybe even catch a snooze.                                                                               
   Some would argue that's not true hunting. I argue it's whatever you make of it. What you enjoy when you're out. Hunting hard is one way to enjoy a hunt. So is a leisurely outing.
   Take your pick, just be safe. This time of the year wear lots of orange.

Your right Roger, what ever makes you happy in the hunt. Just wear that blaze orange so everyone can see you. I don't hunt critters any more but love to hunt for those lost coins with a metal detector.
