DISCOVERING | 4 Seasons of the U.P.
Episode 116 - To wrap up 2024 here is the show I planned to air for my 100th episode, scenes and music of the 4 seasons of the Upper Peninsula from my archives (an idea given to me by one of you). It doesn't show every single beautiful place here in the U.P. but it covers a lot of the woods and waters that make this someplace special.
I had to re-upload because of a glitch!

    During winter of 97 predator calling in Iron Co. watched one through a 4x12 Leopold scope in the middle of a snowy field for 3-4 minutes. DNR didn't believe it and my family of hunters said I was watching the neighbor farm's golden retriever that got loose. A couple years later one was hit by a car and dna from hair on the bumper confirmed what it was. These days friends and family get them on game cams once every couple years.
