Letter from the Editor

Thanksgiving, and the holiday season in general, can stir up a mix of emotions. For many, it’s a time filled with long-standing traditions and family gatherings. For others, it’s quieter, different, or even a little bittersweet. I fall somewhere in the middle.

Letter from the Editor

I started the week not quite sure we would have enough content to fill the paper (it’s honestly always a worry of mine.) By Monday afternoon, we were overflowing with content, which always makes my heart happy, especially when it is happy content.

Another deer hunting story, part 2 By Mike Alan Steinfeldt

As I was telling you last week, my first deer hunting adventure with a gun came in the fall of 1986 when I was 25 years old and attending college in Ely, Minnesota. All of the guys I was hunting with were younger than me, around 19 and 20. I had never owned a rifle before, only a shotgun.

We have only one week to turkey!Are you ready? It certainly doesn’t feel like Thanksgiving time yet.With no snow on the ground and only having to wear a light jacket it feels more like early fall. The calendar says otherwise, so it’s time to get out the stretchy pants and turkey baster, I guess.

As the deer season rifle opener came, so did the snow flurries.While I’m not a hunter, I can appreciate the skill, time, and dedication that go into hunting.For some, it’s an adrenaline rush. For others, it’s a bonding experience.

The other morning, when I first left the house to go to work, a dusting of snow covered the ground. A cold wind blew from the north-northwest.There was a chill in the air.My thoughts drifted back to a time when all I could think about this time of the year was deer hunting.
