Old Geezer Goes Christmas Shopping
Posted on 03. Dec, 2008 by Tom Bridenhagen.
The last time we saw Old Geezer, he was sound asleep, next to a stump, as the doe he’d been waiting for all day pranced daintily by him, unnoticed. He’d gotten up with the chickens and had spent all day in the woods, “…seeing nothing but bucks.” But this was Wisconsin’s Earn A Buck deer hunting [...]

Thomas “Tee” Marik had felt the wind’s subtle shift from the south, to southeast, to east over the last hour or so. A thickening layer of low clouds had darkened the sky just a bit. The sun had become a dim yellow ball hanging just above the pine-covered bluff of Potawatomi State Park overlooking Sawyer [...]
