Deer Season not too far away
We’re in the midst of our annual midsummer burn out. A ‘cool’ day this time of year is when the mercury only reaches 95! But fall and cooler weather is not that far away. Whitetail season is less than a scant three months away. The summer hunting shows will soon be underway in several of the major cities across the state. This is a time when we deer hunters make plans for fall hunts and devise strategies to outsmart that wily old buck that eluded us this past season. Is he still out there on our hunting grounds, did he move on or succumb to a pack of coyotes after the rut before he had a chance to regain his strength and vitality? Why not fast forward a few months and think about cooler weather and deer hunting, I think it will do us all good! 07/17/2024 07:14 AM

Letter to the Editor
Letter to the Editor
This expression was originally a Chinese proverb, but as it happens now, it certainly applies to Americans in 2024. In fact, interesting is too mild a word; better said would be critical since that indicates a significant change to the status quo. Such is hopefully the case in November. It is almost inconceivable that the two major political parties in this country have devolved to the point of running Trump or Biden/Harris. But we are there. 07/17/2024 07:14 AM
