Change of the seasons

Today is the last day of deer season, but I haven't hunted seriously for a few weeks now. Plenty of meat in the freezer (too full to get another deer in it!), so I've passed on shooting another doe, and haven't had a chance at any good bucks.
Tomorrow will kick off preperations for the new season - spring turkey!
I guess the 4 seasons are:
Spring turkey
Fish, camp, & target practice
Fall squirrel
Deer

Fortunately, up here we have the Hard Water Season. Going fishin' for walleyes and jumbo crappies on Red Lake tomorrow. Camp out on the ice in a mobile 'fish castle,' complete with furnace and spam stove. Got the pork stew simmering right now ....just in case.

I grow a good-sized garden every year ... soon it'll be time to plant early spring stuff.

Don't tell anybody I said so, but life isn't ALL hunting.

Don't get on Grizzly too hard. I see what he's getting at. Vegies. You gotta round out your venison diet with some vegies.

In a way gardening is kinda like huntiing, only the harvest is a lot easier to find. You don't have to stalk celery.

Euell Gibbons stalked the Wild Asparagus.

That book was in fact about gathering wild plants, but here's a quote from it that nicely explains why I garden:

"Man simply must feel that he is more than a mere mechanical part in this intricately interdependent industrial system. We enjoy the comfort and plenty which this highly organized production and distribution has brought us, but don’t we sometimes feel that we are living a secondhand sort of existence, and that we are in danger of losing all contact with the origins of life and the nature which nourishes it?"

Nothing like home-grown!

I thought I was going to love this time of year, no hunting but bunnies but the sled was to get a work out, well she blew up in the bush tonight, no more sled until I figure out what seized the engine.

Worst time of year.
