2024
Hello Happy Campers, we are closing in on another year and 2024 will soon be in the books! Let’s all stop and realize we will not be joining countries anytime soon! In fact, when I spoke to a chap who phoned me the other day, I said, hold on to your horses and do not burn your Passport just yet! In a short while, we will see what starts to unfold, but I suspect the show is just starting!!
Weather continues to be weird with all of our snow being gone now, little ice and while we wait for that to thicken up, Rook wants to say hi, that he is coming along nicely and waiting to go chase his next birds. In the last few days Rook was able to flush Grouse in different parts of the state, in fact they flew right by this writer, too bad I do not have a Grouse license or they would have been easy pickens even for my sore eyes!
Rook and I continue to explore avenues and maybe we will go south early 2025 or maybe stick around here and chase some Chukars, that will be fun. Speaking of fun, we plan on going Fly fishing soon for some Trout, we shall see how that stacks up! Having never gone fly fishing in January will be a first but with the warm weather, I suspect we can get some action.
Bald Eagles have found their way into Central Wisconsin, just today on our way up towards Townsend we saw at leat 6 of them, such a great bird. Oddly, we have known for years they are our national Bird of the USA, but congress took the time, money and energy to pass a law about this! Don’t you think they could spend some of our money on finding ways to reduce our debt, work on national health care, or get the simple county workers to treat the roads when they need to be salted. It is the end of December, we have had little winter weather, but the Road crew couldnt find the time nor salt to put down when it snowed and rained. We had to realy on mohter nature to help melt it, sadly these baffoons work for the tax payers, don’t they?
2025 will soon be upon us, and another year at Happy Camp Ontario. We plan on a early Spring Bear hunt, then some fishing, followed by plane rides, berry picking, then our annual trek up the Albany in search of the Landlock Salmon, maybe this year we will be fortunate enough to tussle with a few. If not, I hear that there are fresh Frog Legs to the east that can be very tasty if prepared correctly!
If you want to claim one of our few Bear hunts spots, give me a call or email soon. As always, it is an adventure of a lifetime and who knows what will be around the next curve, down the next hill or over the next rainbow?? That’s what keeps us explorers exploring, the unknown! Come and join us, Happy 2025 everyone, take care and keep in touch!!
