Ain’t October wonderful! It’s the best month of the year for fishing and hunting, except maybe for November and April, and possibly May and December. I once spent most of October in Canada, fishing for walleye, crappie and smallmouth, and hunting ruffed grouse and ducks and geese. We would start on the Lake of the Woods in northwest Ontario and then move over into Manitoba’s prairie pothole country where ducks and geese numbered in the millions. One October evening I caught a ten-pound walleye in Manitoba’s Red River after hunting geese all morning.

With this year’s unpredictable weather, one must evaluate what changes could be made to their property to get the most production out of it no matter what weather we receive.

When I first started thinking about writing a column about memories of my childhood in Flippin in the 1960’s, I had one particular memory in mind that I wanted to share. I’d thought about it for a couple of years. Here it is almost five months and some 20+ columns since I began Growing Up Flippin and that story remains untold because I kept hoping to find some photos, to no avail. It will wait no longer.
