Now That's a Deer Stand

One Sibling Will See All the Funerals

One of your siblings will see all the funerals.

One will see none.

And one won’t have any of you at theirs.

Because that’s how life works.

Someone goes first.

Someone goes last.

And someone leaves before anyone is ready.

It’s a strange thing to think about until you realize how real it is.

Within every family, there’s a sibling who will have to bury the others…

a sibling who will never have to feel that pain…

and a sibling who won’t have their brother or sister standing at their funeral

because they passed too soon.

It puts life into perspective, doesn’t it?

We grow up thinking we have forever.

But forever turns into years…

And years turn into moments we can’t get back.

Hold your people close.

Because one day, one of you will be the last one standing, and you won’t

realize how much that mattered until it’s too late.

Momming On Empty

Another Thank You!

Happy 19th Blogiversary to Me

 Happy 19th Blogiversary to Me

On Tuesday, November 7, 2007, I wrote my first entry on my new blog, Marian's Hunting Stories, etc., etc., etc., and this is what I said.

This is my first time to do this and just feeling my way through it all....my neighbor next door has a blog here and I enjoy reading her stuff....so....I thought I would start me one. I like to deer hunt, so I thought I would blog my hunting adventures.

Correction - This is my first time doing this, and I'm just feeling my way through it all. My neighbor next door has a blog here, and I enjoy reading her posts. I thought I would start myself one. I enjoy deer hunting, so I am blogging about my hunting adventures.

I'm three days late, but I wish myself a very happy blogiversary, marking 19 years of blogging. I have 11 blogs and here they are -

I give a lot of credit for my blogging to my hunting friend, Rex Dean Howell (March 9, 1958- January 31, 2021) of Deer Camp Blog.  He told me back in 2007 to keep blogging because I had mentioned I was losing interest, and he advised me to continue blogging, as there were not many lady deer hunters at the time.  I'm glad I listened to him and miss him so much.

Rex Dean Howell and I are showing off his impressive deer mount.

About Right

Peak Wildlife Activity on Roads

Autumn roads become busier with deer, turkeys, and other animals moving across their ranges. Stay alert, use headlights wisely, and respect their presence. Driving with care keeps both wildlife and people safe through the season.

Fred Bear Twice Married

Many people were unaware that Fred Bear was married twice.  It is known that Fred Bear was married twice.  His first wife was Ann Marie Thomas.  They married in 1927.  She was a skilled nurse and a very accomplished archer, excelling in both tournaments and field conditions.  They stayed married until 1945 and parted ways.

Marie was born in 1902 and lived until 1975 in Michigan.  She remarried after her divorce from Fred and lived in Michigan.

A picture of Fred and her.  They were hunting in Blaney Park.

Reminder

Buck - 8 Yards Away

My Facebook friend, Mike Persichini, took this awesome picture of a buck recently in Michigan.  He said, "He is so used to me, I am almost lying on the ground to get this picture, 8 yards away!"
