Many other tribes from the Northern United States were; portions of the Creek and Seminole, Kickapoo, Seneca, Shawnee, Iroquois, and many more. Principal Chief John Ross and Stand Watie were rivals.

This day was like most here at the Jersey Shore. The sun was shining, the water was glistening and the sky was cloudless. It was the epitome of the perfect beach day. Everything seemed perfect, but almost too perfect. As we finished our morning workout the other guards and I waited for stand assignments of the day.

that I have the water which he responds, “It’s clear”. As the half hour goes by, many different people of all races, genders, and ages hop in the this pool, realize that it is much colder at only 80 degrees, and gasp as their heads come back up. Their laughing is a harsh contrast from my stoic outlook. Many older patrons then walk up to me, only to turn and go into the saunas behind my stand. This always makes me feel anxious that they are going to ask me questions, and I quickly change my body…

seen a single deer on stand but I did spook one in the dark making my way back to the boat and I will set up on it tomorrow evening just to see what it might be. I know you can never be sure but its hoof beats were heavy and it was alone. That always peaks my interest when I am hunting a known big buck area so we will see tomorrow.
