Mancation dates are set....

9/7/2011

 
Septober, Glory-tober, Autumn....whatever you want to call it.  It's simply the best time of year. Outdoor activities abound, and deciding what to do is nothing short of a monumental task when you have so many interests and such little free time.  All summer I've pondered what to do during the last weeks of September and the first weeks of October.  There is upland bird hunting, salmon fishing, summer steelheading, the waterfowl season opener, bow hunting, dove hunting, canoeing and the best trout fishing of the year.  All of which I love to do. 
 This year is a bit different.  My lovely wife Meg is pregnant with our second daughter.  She's due in January, so as the due date nears, I will be trying to keep my outdoor activity a little closer to home.  So that means this fall may very well be my last opportunity to do some traveling to fish or hunt.  So I've decided this years Mancation will be the first week of October....
 I'll start over on the Grande Ronde river for the first time fishing with my good friend Rock y Maley (owner of www.steelheadjunkies.com) for summer steelhead.  Hopefully I can bring one to the top on a skater.  After a few days of that action, it will be back home to re-gear and supply for the Southern Oregon duck hunting season opener.  I'll be hunting the Klamath basin my good friend Drew Hanson, owner of Island Springs Trout hatchery, and his son. Last years opener in the basin was nothing short of amazing.  This also kicks off a season of collecting the great waterfowl feathers that I offer for sale on this site.  You can be sure that we will be on the lookout for prime drakes! 
 Tonight I'm dying up the last of my saddle feathers for  hair extensions for one of my longtime customers.  What a fantastic run of business the feather extensions have been.  They've certainly sharpened my dying skills for sure.  I'm also getting ready to package up ten more colors of pig's wool. That will bring our pigs wool selection up to twenty colors in two package sizes (1/2 and 1 gram packages).
