This is why we have a good population of deer. There is a massive acorn crop.

I'm back safe and sound from a great stress free weekend. We cut wood, moved tree stands and rode atvs. The woods are loaded with a very good deer population of all age classes .
All in all , my family had a fun time.

My other son who regularly hunts with us was not there as work prevails.
He is a police officer of over 10 years.
Apparently, he made national news.
This happened 2 weeks ago and here is the story.
A ups ( brown truck) was called into the police for driving erratic. My son was on bike patrol and spotted the truck hitting 2 parked cars then coming to a stop. He ran up to the truck and jumped in with the driver passed out , truck running and in gear. He moved the driver over and put truck in park then shut the truck off.
There was hypodermic parafanalia within sight and the driver was obvious to him overdosed. He administered 1 shot of narcan. The driver was still unresponsive and he gave another dose. The driver was literally brought back to life and taken to the hospital where he recovered.

All I can say is I'm very proud of my son.
Also very grateful he wasn't harmed. In today's crazy world, being an officer of the peace is a difficult job without the respect due.

Being a policeman today is a very tough job,I'm glad someone takes it on,but you could n't pay me enough to do it. your son is a fine person,congrats to him!!

Great Job- ya never know whats next---

My thoughts are the person probably didn't deserve the danger he put others in . But, maybe it will make that person see the light to become something real in society.
I fear for my son and his family as being a servant to the public more than anything.
Media and some government leadership's are putting our officers down as the bad guys.
Again there are good cops and bad cops, I tried best I could to teach my children well and very proud of their accomplishments.

Someday, I'll fish again....... ugh

Congrats and praise to your son for a job well done.

I used to hunt and fish with quite a few state troopers, mist retired now, and to a person, they would not take or do the job in this climate. I don’t blame them.

May your son stay safe.

Rich,I'll be on the SR 9/20-10/3.any chance you being there ?

Jack, I'm doubtful. I'm supposed to fish trout in the adirondacks the weekend of 9/25 with my son. I know he wants nothing to do with the SR during salmon season. He is also very freaked out over covid and being amoungst crowds or staying in lodging.
If something changes on his plans then I might be up.

Welll- instead of a slow beginning with a scout here and there and then nothing and then some more scouts--
This year seems to have pretty much just plain up an started 
 
Tight lines--
