Back in 2011 at a previous blogging gig, I decided to do my own version of a Christmas classic. My “12 Days of Outdoor Christmas” still exists out there in cyberspace at Heartland Outdoors if anyone has time to take a look back in time. The rundown minus the expanded explanation of those postings is as follows (click each item for link to original posting):

Twelve dollar average,
eleven pound test,
ten morel mushrooms,
nine cooperative bluegill,
eight weeks of vacation,
seven hours of sleep,
six pounds of bass,
five Senko wacky rigs,
four favorite crankbaits,
three weeks of winter,
two trolling motor batteries
and an Illinois Atlas & Gazetteer

Well, for 2017 I’m going down a similar road with an Outdoor Wish List spanning ten blog postings and combining a Christmas list and a look forward to 2018. The collages above serve as a tease of what is coming your way as we head towards the big day. Stop back by for the daily countdown beginning tomorrow and worked in around the ongoing “Trapping Tuesday” series. Here’s to a strong blogging finish to 2017. Talk to you later. Troy
