Powerless on Last Day of Deer Season

By Glen Wunderlich

This is already shaping up as a special day.  Our first snow of the year and it’s a substantial one.  I had planned to hunt on this our final firearms season day for whitetail (although late seasons are coming), so I had prepared to get up early.  Not this early, though.

Seems the heavy dose of snow brought down some power lines and we have no power in this part of Shiawassee County.  Off to the garage at 3:45 am for the generator.  It must have taken me 15 minutes to get it through the snow to the hookup area.  Gotta have that juice with the outdoor furnace and underground water lines.

For now, it’s off to the shower and off to the woods.  Snowplowing will have to wait.
