New Buck in the Area !



Off we go to the cabin this weekend! We have lots planned for this weekend, getting the limbs burned and lots of clean up done outside before the next rain, which is coming this week. Of course it is to windy to burn ,so we head off to a road that is over grown with trees, brush and down trees. We want to clean this out for a hunting trail. We clean out about half the trail, booped we head back to the cabin for a nice adult beverage and relax. Check out the game camera's and find several pictures of does! Where have the bucks gone~ did they lose their horns already? We had better start looking for sheds soon! Night comes and we cuddle down to a warm fire and play several games of rummy~which Pat is still ahead in the game. Wake up to six deer feeding in front of the cabin. Sunday brings a better day for burning,so we get started on that. After a fire gets buring we decide to cut some firewood and move the rest of the oak wood into the shed. What alot of wood to move! About 3:00 we pick up and leave for home~ knowing that we have a dinner date with some friends. We had a great time again at Critter Cabin.

Valentines Weekend Outing!


Off we go to Critter Cabin again, and the truck is loaded with stuff! We have gotten another bed to put up and some tables to set around the place. We are going to spend the weekend here this time. Ya! An overnight outing in Critter Cabin!


After a nice drive getting there we start unloading items and getting things put away. Off to check the game cameras, lots of pictures!


As dinner time arrives we decide to cook the chicken over the fire with all the leftovers that I brought! It seems that we always have this problem of getting this fire going! Finally, we have it just right for our chicken, Pat cooks the chicken while I get the stuffing and leftover deer & mushrooms in a pan. Wow, what a feast along with a Alaska Amber beer we eat it all up! Afterwards we sit around the fire, that we MUST enjoy ( after all the hard work getting it going) and have another beer, dark comes and the nice warm cabin entices us inside for the evening. Getting the oil lamps lit and trying to see, we decide that we can't even see to play the cards! How did the pioneers do this? We get the propane lantern going. Playing rummy ( Pat is winning) and listening to the radio (windup style) for several hours we decide to get the night scopes out! Nothing yet! Well time for bed? Only 8:00, oh, well. We have a big day planned for tomorrow, burning limbs and cleaning up. We wake up to rain in the morning! So much for that idea! Sitting around inside the cabin we write down lists of what to bring next time! As the day goes along, the rain stops and we take a walk to the little pond to set a game camera there. Lunch time ~ seems like we eat all the time here~ we enjoy smoked salmon, cheese and crackers. After that to late to start a fire, we get on the 4 wheeler and take a ride looking at different roads and trails that need clean out for use. Lots of work! Back to the cabin to pick up and get ready for our trip home. We had a great Valentines Day weekend!

Critter Cabin Comes Alive!!!!

A nice day coming up, we decide to take off to Critter Cabin for the day. After loading up a bunch of things to take over, we get on the road. Of course more snow there, that means "chain up for the hill again"! Seems like about 6 inches of snow fell since last time we were here, alot of the snow has melted around the cabin, but where the sun doesn't shine~ SNOW! We built a nice fire inside and unpack several tubs of things that will make this place a cozy home. The game camera's~~ We had better get to them and see what has been here visiting. Wow**** Several nice pictures. Pat wants lunch, so he heads off to get a fire going for our shrimp on the grill! After struggling to get it going, we enjoy a very nice meal! Pat trims some more limbs down while I get the great job of cleaning the "OUTHOUSE". After 5 years of no use~~it needs it! Now it is clean enough for any butt to rest on! We look at the clock ** 4:00 ** where did the day go? We get ready to head out again, knowing that we have to stop at "Chain Flat" to take off the chains again. We had a great time. We are anxious to get back soon!
