  1. Cal definitely missed the mark on the Akerns discussion. In Wi we had a record number of akerns drop this year. This correlated (but not 100% can say caused) a lower harvest of deer and especially bear. Bears did not need to travel to baits to feed same as deer. I would like to see cal stalk a bear in farm country or even hardwoods and get close enough for a shot. Not gonna happen. Same as deer, almost impossible to ground stalk a mature buck or even set up and sit a stand where a mature buck is living. I had a very nice mature 10 point that rarely moved out of a 5 acre plot of woods all season. Maybe I’m just not that skilled of a bow hunter but there was no way I could ever sneak into that woods without him spooking out.

  2. Regarding the sophmore slump: You've had your whole life to write your first effort, including the creme de la creme of your work. Second effort, what? 6 months,? a year?

  3. In Michigan, there was standing corn surrounding large chunks of public on the south side of the state that didn’t get harvested until after the new year. The sign was there but I believe a majority of it came from the night.

  4. To touch on the bumper crop acorn production year. A large factor of the amount of mast crop produced each year is the amount of rain in an area. The lower the amount of rain in an area the higher the mast crop production. The more rainfall the lower the mast production. This is to increase the rate of reproduction in case of stand of trees sruggles or dies due to drought. During drought years the stand of trees puts all of its energy into producing crop.
