Stove Installed


The new stove was delivered yesterday and I installed it in the living room. The propane service is going to be hooked up on Thursday. We can't wait to get it hooked up and start enjoying the warmth it will provide. I've attached a picture of it.

Another Buck


Here's a picture I took of a buck that stopped by this evening for a quick meal. Note he is missing his antlers on the left side and he also has a large sore on the top of his shoulder. I suspect he's been in a few battles.

Cabin Upgrades


I've finally got a new card reader for my camera memory chip and I've downloaded some pictures of upgrades we did this past summer around the cabin. Here is a picture of a storage barn that we added this summer.

Christmas Decorating


Mel and I started our Christmas decorating the other day. Mel bought some lighted garland and we installed it on the loft railing. We think it looks really beautiful! There's nothing like decorating a cabin for Christmas!

Gas Stove


Well after much thought and research we have decided to install a vent free gas stove in our cabin. We just couldn't find an acceptable way to install a wood stove that we were happy with. Our neighbors down the road from us installed the same stove in their cabin and we were very impressed with the look and operation of theirs. We ordered it yesterday and scheduled to have it installed next Thursday. I've attached a picture of the stove and after its installed I'll post some more pictures.

Missed Again

Well I missed a really nice 12 point this evening. I'm beginning to believe my scope is out of adjustment. It was only about a 25 yard shot and I missed like I did earlier in the week. He was a really nice buck. Can't believe I missed. Oh well still have the extra weekend to try again.

Still Hunting


I've continued hunting this past week as I have been on vacation. I missed a nice buck this past Wednesday. I saw another nice one yesterday afternoon, but wasn't able to get a shot. Not too many days left in gun season, so I better work at it a little harder. I've attached a recent picture of the front of the cabin.
