     At Kohl’s resort this Fall was more unique than usual.  The weather was warmer and the leaves were more colorful.  The pipe-liners moved in the year.  Kohls usually rents some units to college kids and new people moving into town. But this year there are two major pipelines being put in, so they rented quite a few units to them. 

   With Fall lasting longer than usual we moved right into hunting season.  Aaron and I are dating, we got to sit in the double seater Jim set up.  Aaron and I met in Highschool and  we are now living at Bemidji State University in the dorms. 

  I got my first deer this year sitting with Aaron.  He passed on shooting a lot of deer himself while letting me get the experience of seeing the deer walking and grazing on the foliage. After the first full week I felt confident enough to scope a deer and pull the trigger.  Down it went.  It only went a few steps.  It was a young doe.  Every one was really proud of my accomplishment.  Jim skinned the deer and my dad picked it up a few days later.  We went out for Big Burgers, this is a celebration that the Eickhorst family has been doing for the last 26 years. 

  Jim had a discouraging hunt one day.  We all went out to our own stands and while walking out to his, about five minutes ahead he heard a shot from his area.  When he got to his stand there was a guy getting down from it.  He got a 10 pointer from Jim’s stand.  This really was a bummer to our group that whole night.    Tara Riplinger
