Hunting trip 2007 is in the books. I took off on Thursday night for the farm (located about 7 miles north-northeast of Deckerville, MI). Sadly, I must report that no deer were harmed in the composition of this blog post, nor during the weekend. I posted a few photos of various hunting locales on our land as well as the woods they tore down over the past few months right behind the house. Someone bought out the long-time owners of the land just south of ours and tore down a great woods for farmland. The deer used to hang out in there and run over to our woods. Unfortunately, with the removal of the woods, the deer paths were all screwed up. We had no clue where they were going and I don't think they even had a clue as witnessed by some deer running over to where the woods used to be and then finding no cover.
Although no deer were taken, we had a fun time with Nanny and it was great to see Pappy as well. Per my dad, his spirits seemed to be raised from the last time my dad was up a couple of weeks ago and hopefully he will get out of the nursing home soon. The doc said on Friday that his leg was still fractured so he has to be in his walking boot/wheelchair for another month. (He took a fall about a month back, sprained his ankle and fractured his fibula - that's the lower bone, right? Since there is no way for Nanny to take care of him on the farm while in a wheelchair as he is not strong enough to walk in the boot alone - he is currently residing in the local nursing home while doing rehab. That's what a broken back, lymphoma, a stroke and diabetes in the last ten years will do to you.)
Next year - I promise, more deer sticks for all.
