 Evan Wheatley, 7, killed this eight-point deer on the opening morning of deer season in Raywick. He is the son of Joey and Leslie Wheatley.

 Coming up is Thanksgiving, the time of year when the meaning of family manifests itself as we approach another year.

Over the period of a year things will change, as they always do. So be thankful for what you have today and thankful for those whose courage gives us reason to give thanks.

Some time during the day, just stop and consider what you have to be thankful for.

 Here it is, 10 days after the start of the 2014 modern gun season. And, in our Zone Three, it’s the last day of our 2014 modern gun season.

Oh, there’s still archery until Jan. 19 and crossbow season until Dec. 31. Plus, we have a muzzleloader season Dec. 13-21.

So, here I am, thinking about other seasons and not the one we’re in.
