Garry, right now late season plans are for South Dakota mid January.
Not ruling out another run up to the UP in December.
Tomorrow is my last day here, leaving 1 day early. Was very windy today and hard time finding birds until the late afternoon hunt with Willie. She went from point to point and I kept missing with both barrels until I was down to the two shells in the gun. Two points, two shots later, walked back to the truck with 2 birds.

Are you in Australia??:)

Harold,
Nicely done! What is the fan looking thing between the kennels? Is that a heater? If so, how and when do you use it?

Dean, yes, a little electric heater that I use to keep the dogs warm. Although I am allowed to bring the dogs in the cabin, 3 dogs is a bit much and often keep me from sleeping well. The cap of course blocks the wind and the heater keeps the inside a comfortable 50 degrees. I hunt hard and want my dogs to rest well, not using their energy to stay warm. I always carry a 50 ft electric cord with me. My old dog Fancy gets to stay in with me.
In SD, I do bring all three in, just too cold in January..
Forgot to edit the picture before posting.

WHAT LOGGERS DO FOR FUN
Similar to the Inuksuit found in the arctic regions, these stone structures are often found in logging areas. Would require heavy equipment , guess they just have a sense of humor.
