Black’s Cliff Resort’s Birch Bark Blog

This is one turkey with attitude.  I had these pictures emailed to me from our neighbor who bow hunted across the road from the resort.  He sent up this animal cam and caught the deer and bear pics I posted a few weeks ago.  Wade caught these pics the end of October and just sent them to me to share.  Hope you enjoy more of the neighbors across the road.  This turkey definitly is not a friendly neighbor

I have seen up to 2o or so turkeys in the resort and on Lower Kaubashine this fall.  The wild turkey is definitely making a come back in the Northwoods.  They are not afraid of chasing a larger deer off.  These 2 were fighting over who got to eat Wade’s bait pile in the woods

I also stole this picture from my brother in law Bryon.  He took it on The Raven Trail looking out at Clear Lake last weekend.   I thought it was a cool pic showing snowballs on the lake

Tonight we are under a winter storm warning with 9 – 13 inches of snow expected.  Snow in the Pines pics should be awesome tomorrow for those who need a dose of them.

Side Note:  I am not sure what jinx it is I have on PC’s  2 years ago I dropped my lap top destroying it, last year I had a bad hard drive and lost another one.  This year my newest computer is acting up.  The prognosis is it is a hardware problem and it is going to be sent away for warranty work for 1 – 2 weeks.  I have decided Black’s Cliff needs a back up computer and am looking into a Mac, I hear they are more durable and have a great photo editing program.  If I happen to not post for a couple of days in the next week it means I am doing the transition to the Mac world and trying to figure it out.  It might involve a few swear words and some spiked holiday egg nog.  Before the new one arrives I am limping the old one through that locks up and crashes a couple of times a day

The first weekend of Deer Camp was a little slow, due to the fact that no does could be taken in our zone.  These guys found a nice 7 point buck a few miles away and said there was a story about “Da Thirty Point Buck” that got away.  They were not sharing that story just having a few beers to help get over Da Loss.

Speaking of Da Thirty Point Buck, is Northern Wisconsin the only place this song is played along with “The 2nd week at Deer Camp” from Da Yuppers?  I have consulted Atlanta Georgia where they do deer hunt but no one besides Linda knows this song.  In Minocqua it is on the radio over and over and over again…..    Linda claims nobody outside of the Midwest can understand the Lingo in the song….  I think they are missing a classic…  Nothing like the belching Clyde in Da Thirty Point Buck to make you think of this time of year
