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.

First Snow, Last Day

By Glen Wunderlich

It’s hard to believe that November in mid-Michigan has gone snowless – until now.  The chilly northeast rain has been transformed to a wet, heavy blanket of white – our first of the year.

Snow capped outdoor furnace and fuel

The photo above was taken without flash under the yard light about an hour ago; it’s still coming down.

As for tomorrow morning – the last morning of firearms deer season – I’ll be there.  It’s what I dream of.
