Vermont December 2025 - Time to get the tree up, lights on the house and stay off the naughty list

Good morning Vermont and FTE land. Another month down and another year almost gone. Hopefully Santa will deliver a good winter. Have a trouble free day and a great December.

Good morning woodchucks. AND congratulations Jim, nothing like waiting for the last day!. Nice looker. Went up back yesterday but as usual, nothing to see here. No tracks, no rubs, no nothing. Going to have to find some new places to hunt next year until this area grows back

Have a great day. Kids and grandkids arer gone. House is quiet and we now have to start packing to head south this Thursday if the weather cooperates even a bit.

Have fun. Looks like it will be cold so dress warm. Not sure when you are coming back but the weather is starting to look like winter.

Good morning Jim and crew.

Nice looking buck you got Jim, I'm not a hunter but I know out West that would be called a 4 point! I wonder where the dividing line is?

Good afternoon Shawn. I would rather of done that the first day but you know how hunting in Vermont is. But I could have been done the first Sunday if I had known not to rest the barrel of the gun on a solid object. Good luck packing

We have been having cold weather with about 6" of snow the last few days.

I made a stupid mistake...... I left the back of the house faucet on with a Wye connector that had its own shutoffs'. The wye connector froze and split, spraying water for a couple of days.
