From the house across the creek to the corn field.

Back at trhe west end looking down the creek.

One of the critters that live in my woods.

Up on top of the hill in the back by the east fence line.

Another critter that lives there and cleans up the acorns the deer and squirrels don't get.

this critter also lives in our woods and scavanges corn from the corn field Hickory nuts the turkeys don't care for and the Acorns the turkeys and deer leave.

Funny we live 58 miles 1 hour 11 minutes by truck from Detroit.

Bought a place in Michigans UP and while we like thre place with a 1/2 mile of lake frontage and 37 acres of hard woods cedar swamps and cranberry bogs backed up by about 6 square miles of Federal land.

I had once thought about retireing there. No more how ever as I have more deer here, turkeys, squirrels and other small wild critters.

We are going to sell the UP property soon well when spring comes.

I see way more deer here and come to be able to Id some as seen many times, Once even had a doe that would walk the trails with the dogs and I
. when she had her fawn that spring she brought it to the trail so we could see it.

I like my Valhula right here in SE Michigan. I am only a hour away from being able to fish a great lake from a nice launch too.

We shoot way more coyotes than you can shake a stick at and the fur buyer is near by and part of our group now.
I still like the UP and will continue to go there to fish and do some hunting. But I also like Canada and go there to fish.

I still like Green Bay Foot ball and
know the lions will never go to a super bowl in my life time, and have my doubts they will go to a play off game in my life time and win. I will soon be 73.

We camp up that way a lot. Thumb area.

I suppose some would say thumb area but i consider it more the palm near the base of the thumb.
