A nice 10-point buck taken on our property on Ottertail Peninsula, Leech Lake
I may be back in California, but that doesn't mean I don't think about Leech Lake on a daily basis. So it was a pleasant surprise when I opened my email the other day and saw a note from my neighbor John Newman giving me an update on this year's deer season in Northern Minnesota.
I have two deer stands on my property and John has a very large, almost palatial deer stand on his. For the past several years now John and his son Greg have used their deer stand, while our friend (and the guy from whom we bought our house) Clancy uses one of the stands on my property.
Apparently, this year John and Greg didn't even see a deer. Clancy on the other hand not only saw a deer, but bagged a nice 10-pointer. Clancy knows I much I enjoying grilling and eating venison brats, so he's promised me a few will be waiting for me at Leech Lake when I next visit.
One of these years Kathleen and I are going to spend a full year in the Northwoods so we can enjoy Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's at Leech Lake.
