A Brief Break

by Jody on February 8, 2010

I’m taking this week off from my blog. I promise to be back in full swing next week.

I might pop up on a few social networking sites but I think for this week I’m unplugging.

Have a good week all!

We have a winner for the Eureka Sleeping Bag:

Congratulations Nicole Hatch you were #21!

Nicole Hatch  I Follow- Coleeol42784
We go to Biddeford Maine. Homestead by the River is the name of the campground we have our trailer at! Well dads trailer we just use it during the summer! We normally go the first week in August for the whole week, it’s a great time! We have fires, go to the flea market other stores and of coarse the beach! Old Orchard Beach is about 10 mins away. We have other family members that camp their too! The camp ground is right on the Saco River! The kids take the Canoe’s and tubes and float along! It’s like a horse shoe around the campground. My Favorite part about camping is cooking over the open fire! I have come up with a new kind of smore, Once you try one of these you’ll never go back to a rugular one again!! Instead of a hershey bar……………… Use a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup!! MMMMMMMMMM……. So Good!!

Oh goodness – Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups on a s’mores!!! I’m inviting myself to your camp.  And now you have an extra sleeping bag in case I show up.

Thank you all for entering … Have a great day!

Coyote Stiff

by Jody on February 5, 2010

Hunting is over and fishing in our neck of the woods has yet to begin.  Well, unless you’re an ice fishing fanatic.  Which I’m not.

Because I eat cupcakes.

Crack crack crack … broken ice.

So our house has been quiet from all the hunting and fishing smack until our fishing trip in April.  Our dinner conversations now include; work, politics, local politics and work.  As far as work issues, it’s been one of those weeks.   I’ve had a few things I wanted to write but it just didn’t happen.

Our refrigerator is bare which means carryout. Sure I can pull something from the freezer downstairs like venison or maybe fish because that’s what fills your freezer when you’re married to the outdoors guy.  But I haven’t been in that freezer in about 2 weeks since one of our dinner conversations:

Me:  Did you hear so and so on the radio this morning?  I am so disappointed.

Mark: No.

Huffing and puffing me:  Well…&^&^%

Mark:  Oh before you finish there’s a coyote in the freezer downstairs.

Me: Huh?

Mark: There’s a coyote in the freezer.

Me:  A frozen coyote?  In our freezer?

Mark:  Yes.

Me:  The whole body?

Mark:  Yes.

Oh help me: There’s a whole body coyote in our freezer?  Standing on all fours … frozen? In our freezer? With head and all? In our freezer?

Mark: Jody

I’m still trying to figure out how it’s in there.  In a bag?  Laying across my meat?  Frozen stiff on all fours?

And I’m not about to go look.  I’m not.  I won’t.

And I think I read online once a duck hunter’s wife went to get a duck out of the freezer and it was still alive.

Oh what happen to you?  My husband had a coyote in the freezer and it jumped out and attacked me.

Oh heavens to coyote stiff mounts. That thing is not going in my living room.

Have a good day all … if that garage is good enough for my 6 pt deer well it’s good enough for stiffy in there.

by Jody on February 3, 2010

I wanted to thank everyone for entering the Eureka Sleeping Bag Giveaway.  So excited to see so many new people visiting.  Thank you all! And for those that left your link to your site, I’ll be checking in.

Ugly Website Contest: There is still time to enter WebDog Services Ugly Website Contest. Do you or somebody you know have an ugly website? Win a FREE site re-design. No strings attached. And I will be the first to say, they are a great group! You won’t be disappointed.

Outdoor Bloggers Summit Challenge: The Outdoor Bloggers Summit is hosting a challenge happening this week. They are asking outdoor bloggers or those that enjoy the outdoors to write about how to get everyone to play outdoors.

Starting next week, I’d like to schedule a few guest bloggers. If you’re interested, you can email me at jody @ thehunterswife . net. I hope to have a guest post each month along with your 125 x 125 graphic banner on my sidebar for the month. There is one condition though, your post must include humor. Have you fallen out of a fishing boat, maybe a snake crawled on you or you’re finally admitting you heard noises while in your tree stand in the dark scary woods.  I’d love to have some fresh faces here at The Hunter’s Wife with fun stories.

And finally – I want to say a special thank you to my Twitter friends worried about where I’ve been all morning. You know who you are and you all are wonderful friends!

Have a good day all … I wonder if I said I’m sick they’d bring me cupcakes? With sprinkles.

Female Floozy Fireflies And Dung …

February 2, 2010

I saw a link yesterday to the National Wildlife Federation about animal valentines.  So I clicked on it thinking I bet they’re sharing animal love stories in the wild. How sweet.
And the first story I read was this …
On warm, romantic summer nights, male fireflies flash their lights while flying—using a code that lets females [...]
