We have very few "combat" forces in Japan. That draw down began when I was there in '71-72. The only large combat force left in japan is on Okinawa, and that is being drawn down as well.

Occupy Japan? :confused: The last I heard the US occupation in Japan ended in 1952. I was one year old then. I guess I missed something when I was stationed there. I though I was there under a statute of forces agreement.

We have a small freezer on the truck. We carry a few venison steaks, burger etc. She will do more when we are home over Christmas. I hope to get over to my friends place during late doe season. One more would be nice. Till then, I hope to get a few more ducks in the freezer.

It has been a strange year to be sure. The herd is down where we hunt, not sure what is going on over where you hunt. I only saw one hunter where we were hunting. That is strange it itself. Kinda nice. Just my brother and I hunting in a nice stand of hardwoods and and older cut over. Mrs...

Are you going to volunteer to rewrite all the treaties involved AND the Constitution of Japan? Don't count on our government doing that. I don't want that job. It would interfere with my hunting.

Golf is the main cause. Everyone that I know who had Parkinson's also played golf. I wonder if walking in areas that are contaminated by heavy amounts of fertilizers and pesticides are having an impact?

Got back from up north yesterday. I hunted in a new spot this year. I saw 12 deer first day, all bald. Took a doe. That was the only deer taken by our crew. No snow until yesterday morning.

The last youth hunt did not go so well. The kids were great but we had a problem with our primary tender boat. The ignition switch burned up and we could not start it. We always have at least one back up tender boat so we picked up the layout boat and decoys and came back in. We only managed 4...

We got 25 yesterday. 25-35MPH SW winds. Light chop. Birds flew spotty. The are zillion out on the Lake be they are staying out there. It is now Sat. morning. We are preparing to take out 4 kids for a layout hunt on the Lake. 15-25MPH out of the SW are predicted. Hope the birds fly better...

It is now early Sat morning and we are preparing to take those same 3 kids, plus one more, out onto Lake Erie for another duck hunt.

Yesterdays wind storms in SE Michigan were right on cue. The famous "Gales of November" are part and parcel of the history of the State. The most famous "victim" of the "Gales" was the Edmond Fitzgerald. She was an ore carrier that was very well known in the Detroit area. She was built in...

They are family of the friends that I hunt with. The boy from New Jersey is here with his parents visiting my hunting partner. They are cousins. I will get to hunt with him again tomorrow and the entire crew of kids again on Saturday.

Why in the world would anyone want to skip the fall and winter? :confused: All the hunting, fishing is always better, then ice fishing, man, that is living.

I had the wonderful privilege to hunt with 3 fine young people today. 2 boys and one girl. All were 11 or 12 years old. I spent about an hour in the layout boat with the 12 year girl. She was riot to hunt with. She missed almost everything that came in. Her "style" of shooting, very slow...

It came in short bursts. It also spit a little snow down in Toledo! Too bad it is going to warm up a bit.

We did not hunt on the Lake Erie. We did go goose hunting be none came in. We went out on the Lake today. 25MPH winds. Nice chop on the water. We had 3 kids out with us. I had the great privilege to spend an hour in the layout boat with a 12 year old girl. It was fun. She did get one duck. She...

It DID snow today, both in Wayne and Monroe counties. It mixed with rain. the 35MPH winds made it good to see. The weather is finally getting good!

He should have said NOTHING! (Don't get me wrong, I don't want him for our president. The ONLY people he MIGHT be better than is Obama and Paul. Other than that he SUCKS) You are then saying that company lawyers NEVER pay off lying dogs because it is cheaper than fighting it in court? Are...

That WAS my opinion. Nothing more. I AM right though! :p

It amazes me how few people seem to NOT understand that, for now, these are ALLEGATIONS ONLY. No one can say that ANYONE messed up until it is PROVEN in a court of law.
