Shotgun Season is Officially Open! *This is serious at the Diehms folks!

Shotgun season is a very exciting time around the Diehm House..especially for the boys! They spend months talking and making plans as to what tree they're sitting in and spend countless hours in the fall spotlighting deer to find the *Big One*. Why they wake up at 5am to freeze and wait for the crack of dawn and with a hopefulness..maybe to spot a monster buck..well..honestly..I'm not really sure. I think its a male thing actually because I'd rather sleep ;-). Nonetheless we have a ball watching them get excited about some animal prancing across a field..its very entertaining actually. They see one. They get all shaky and you'd think the world just stopped turning. Its so funny! But in the meantime us girls will be happy to stay in the warm house to ensure that they get yummy turnovers when they get back from the woods.
