Next Monday, Nov. 18, will end my autumn outings along the stream and in the woods. If I do not chicken out, I will be having my right knee replaced. Over the years I have done all I can to avoid this, but now it is necessary. Many people who have had replacements have encouraged me that my surgery will get me back to doing most of my favorite activities. When I decided to have the surgery performed, I opted to hold off until after the beautiful days for autumn trout fishing and until after the fall turkey season. These are two of my favorite...

Next Monday, Nov. 11, is Veteran’s Day. It is one of the year’s most important days, since it honors men and women who sacrificed much so that the United States can remain free.

Last year’s autumn turkey season began with a thud for me. Bob, my son, and I were to hook up and hunt together on the opening day. However, he did not show up at daybreak, and I couldn’t reach him on the cellphone he and my wife “advise” me to carry. I guessed I didn’t have service. Anyhow, after speaking with another hunter about where each of us would hunt that morning, I progressed out a Jeep trail then entered the woods where I had seen turkeys a couple days before. I hunted all morning but had no luck. I decided to go home for lunch. On...

Female deer will become fertile, and the male deer, the bucks, will be out seeking them. This activity peaks in early November, though it extends well into the month and on into December as not all does (female deer) are ready to breed on the same day. This keeps mature bucks on the prowl, though researchers have found that immature bucks get in on the action, too, as their big brothers cannot keep up with all t...
