We’ve been at Nan’s mom’s house for a couple of weeks now. When we first got here we dropped the trailer off at the dealer for repairs. The warranty expires in mid November so we wanted a few things taken care of while it was still under warranty. Anything that breaks now is on our nickel.
I’ve taken Roxy pheasant hunting about 3 times so far. Twice I took the Smart Car and once I drove the truck to Grand River Wildlife Area where the State of Ohio stocks pheasants. I included a picture of the truck in the wildlife area parking lot. I imagine people wonder what a semi with S. Dakota plates is doing parked in an Ohio hunting area. I haven’t gotten any pheasants yet, but that’s OK. The second day there Roxy and I were in the woods and I heard something in the leaves. There was a very fat groundhog heading towards me that Roxy didn’t see. I was thinking maybe it had rabies or something since it was coming right towards me, so I was going to blast it if it got much closer. Actually it was just trying to find it’s hole that was covered with leaves. It finally found the hole about 10 feet from me, but it was so fat (right before it’s winter hibernation) that it had trouble getting in the hole. It kind of tumbled in through the leaves and the last thing I saw was it’s belly pointing toward the sky while it was kicking its hind feet to get in the hole before Roxy saw it. I went out the next day and Roxy was able to flush up a pheasant, but I missed. The state is putting more pheasants out this Saturday so I’ll be out again next week.
