Good-Bye 2010

I’m sure many will be glad to see 2010 over. It was a year that many struggled with bills and finances. Those who live in big cities worry about just putting food on the table, but those of us who live in this part of the world can go down to the Wisconsin river or one of the river bottom sloughs and catch supper almost any day of the year.

If you’re a hunter, you can fill your freezer with game in the fall and feast for a long time on your stored up meat. If you spent enough time hunting squirrels, ducks, geese, turkeys, deer and rabbits you’d be surprised at how much game you could amass. And it’s good food, fresh, wholesome and best of all….free.

We’re lucky to live in a place where there is such bounty. And no matter what the economy is doing, there is always something to draw you to the woods or waters that you can take home and feed your family with.

I hope the new year is better for everyone. But even if it isn’t, you can be glad that you live in such a beautiful part of the world where you can feed yourself with the bounty of Mother Nature. Happy New Year to all. Best of luck in 2011.
