It’s finally fall and life on the homestead takes on a whole new focus. The hustle and bustle of the spring and summer seasons are slowing down, though Philip and I don’t know how to live any other way. We continue to hustle no matter the season! September brings the opening of archery season in…
Before Philip and I met, he’d often spend Thanksgiving hunting. I let him know early on that I wanted to be with my family for Thanksgiving. He’s been faithful to make that happen for me. This year was no different, we planned to host Thanksgiving for 15 guests. We served them a homegrown turkey that…
All work and no play would make our time on Kowalski Mountain quite dull. We try to take time to play and to enjoy ourselves when we can. When we arrived the field had a big patch of flowers. I’m glad I captured this early, they were gone by the time so we left. Philip…
When I met Philip in 2018 he learned that I was a pretty decent shot with a long bow. I mentioned to him that I’d like to learn to bow hunt. Shortly thereafter Philip bought me my first compound bow. I practiced and practiced and finally made it to my first hunting season. You can…
Archery opening day in Kentucky. We ended the day in the upper field. Philip in a blind 30 yards from me and I perched in a stand on the edge of the woods. I hear the deer come boldly out of the tree line, I quickly clip in, ready for whatever steps out. Yearlings Bound…
Philip was thrilled to be able to show the property to his son and daughter-in-law, Eric Kowalski and Jess Tidwell and his grandson Weston on their first visit to Kowalski Mountain. More thrilling, Jess and Eric joined us during hunting season. Part of Philip’s dream is to pass on the traditions and homesteading skills to…
Since our visits to the homestead are limited, we try to get as much done as we possibly can. We do take “some” time for fun as well. My parents, Tom and Betty-Lou Seager joined us for their first trip to Kowalski Mountain. Philip actually did really well taking time this trip to slow down…
Homeward bound…. this is the view from my last sit in the stand… I finally saw a deer… a pretty doe in perfect range… quiet, dainty steps… I had two really good shooting lanes… a third possibility… I needed her to take just a couple more steps and I could take a shot… She stayed…
While I bow hunt exclusively, Philip looks forward to opening day of rifle season. He’s an accomplished hunter using both bow and rifle, but on years where food is more plentiful and the deer less reliant on our feeders, rifle opens up greater chance of success. Philip got a deer. He and I hauled her…
In October of 2018 we hauled the RV from Florida to Kentucky to provide us a more comfortable place to call home on Kowalski Mountain. This RV has opposing slides and even an electric fireplace that make it feel like a luxury hunting camp. Challenges on the Road Travel wasn’t without issues… we blew a…
