Hunting and Fishing Day

I hear that tomorrow is National Hunting and Fishing Day.  Sounds like a great idea to me!  As a matter of fact, with our diversity of hunting and fishing opportunities, I believe Nebraska is the perfect place to spend some time outdoors doing both!  Fall is the perfect time to do that.  Let me offer my kid’s recent adventures as proof. . . .

Last weekend both of my kids were in western parts of Nebraska.  First, I got a message from my son that he had punched his muzzleloader pronghorn tag:

I will not share a lot of details of the hunt.  I am kicking myself that I did not venture out to go along with him.  Can tell you he put in his time scouting before the season even opened.  Opening morning it was just a matter of working into position to get a shot.  That took a while, but before noon he was texting me!

By that evening, I was getting texts from my daughter and son-in-law.  They were catching brook trout!

Again, I was extremely jealous that I was not there.

Never fear, the “old man” has been on the water too.

By the way, I know our fall weather so far has been hot.  But, if you have been waiting for the fall bite to start.  You are too late, it has already started, a long time ago.

It is going to be a great weekend.  You better find some time to be on the water, in the field, or both!
