Terri and I picked up some KFC and drove out to American Horse Lake and enjoyed the afternoon. We stopped by Jesse Chisholm's grave site on Chief Left Hands property NE of Geary on the way back home.... Great afternoon...

Well another Deer Season has come and gone... Because of personal issues with some of the hunting buddies we skipped Primitive Fire Arm's Season and we went to the Hunting Cabin at McAlester this week for Rifle Season.. Mo, Dick and I met up Sunday at Dick's Hunting Cabin to scare the hell out of the wild game in the area...
We spent a few very cold morning trying to bag a deer for the freezer for the coming year... We did see a few deer but none of the shooter deer offered up a shot. It really didn't matter as we all enjoyed our time in the woods and we enjoyed our time together... The Cabin is winterized and we look forward to April's Turkey Season... To you who don't agree with killing wild game, you should know that I am writing this as I enjoy venison stew made from the deer that I shot last year... It taste very good and none of the meat went to waste.... I don't tell you how to live your life and I don't need your guidance on how to live mine.... I have been invited to Thanksgiving Dinner by several friends and relatives but I will be spending Thanksgiving Day at home by myself... I will enjoy the blessings that I have... Have a very enjoyable and Happy Thanksgiving.... Took a trip to Southeastern Oklahoma's Beavers Bend State park this week to get away and celebrate Terri's Birthday.
We stayed in one of the cabins that are next to the Lower Mountain Fork River. We enjoyed playing with the local squirrel population, including the ones that lived in our attic... We took hikes and geocached while we were in the park. We saw all kinds of wildlife including a bald eagle, deer, water fowl and birds of all types.... We cooked out and had a bonfire one evening. The battery powered chainsaw I was getting for the Hiker has now moved up on my priority list and has been ordered.... after all I am retired and I should not have to work that hard to enjoy a nice fire... On our way home we stopped by Robbers Cave State Park and cooked hamburgers and then climbed to the "Cave".... More adventures to come.... |
AuthorSteve Chapman (68 yoa) Welcome to my Retirement Journal. A little about myself: I was married to my high school sweetheart for almost 29 years. I have been a widower since 2008.
I worked for the City of Chickasha for over 38 years and held a variety of jobs for them during that time. I retired as the Parks and Recreation Director on January 6, 2017. Now that I have retired I will be working on the many projects that I have been putting off. I will also be deciding where I will live in retirement. I am not sure I want to stay in Chickasha. I do plan on traveling and doing a lot of hiking, kayaking, backpacking, camping, hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities as well as volunteer work during my retirement... ![]() New Hiking Buddy!
