i Notebook
Ida Risser
The big week of deer
hunting has just passed, as
usual some hunters have
been successful and many
more have not been. It
depends on what you call a
successful trip. For me, it is
a day when I’ve at least seen
some deer wondering
through the forest.
This year I made twenty
sandwiches the night before
using turkey from
Thanksgiving and some of
our own bologna. You see, at
five in the morning, I find
making several thermos
bottles of coffee and cocoa
sufficient work before
leaving for the Blue
Mountains. My husband had
to rise at three o’clock and
milk our fifty cows much
earber than usual in order to
go hunting.
We then had to drive our
trusty Datsun through the
seasons first snowstorm
There were many cars and
trucks unable to get up hills

say, ‘ Here’s the place to
stop ” We pulled on extra
clothes and set out with a
sandwich in our pocket and a
few extra shells. As I’ve
been lost in the woods at
nightfall, I am now very
cautious about getting too
farm from a trail but our two
sons, who were with us,
climbed up one side of the
mountain and down the
other.
The four inches of snow
covered everything and the
woods were quiet. Oc-
