Today is the ND deer gun opener and, as far as I can remember, except for the one year a blizzard kept us from getting back to the farm, it will be the first one I have ever missed. You see my youngest boy is a high school senior who plays football and tonight they play a game in West Fargo to see who goes to the State AAA Championship game being held next Friday.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching the boys play but whoever came up with a sports season that overlaps deer season needs their head examined! Oh well, pretty sure my daughter won't be playing football so this should be the last time I have to worry about such nonsense interfering with my deer hunting.
