A roller coaster of a hunt

Hunts can go down in several different fashions. Some end with you seeing tons of wildlife, while other times you’re lucky to have a chipmunk run by.

My first two days of hunting my home property in Chippewa County were about as eventful as I could have asked for, with plenty of ups and downs across the many hours spent out in the woods.

After hunger foiled my doe encounter on Sept. 28, the following day was full of action.

MLB: Brewers give away wild-card game

WASHINGTON — Trent Grisham's eyes were still red, his cheeks stained by tears, as a group of Milwaukee Brewers teammates gathered near his locker in the visitors' clubhouse at Nationals Park to offer hugs and words of encouragement.

Everything was going according to plan for manager Craig Counsell and the Brewers — get a lead, mix and match with the bullpen — until, suddenly, it wasn't. Milwaukee was undone by wildness from closer Josh Hader and an error by Grisham in right field that allowed the go-ahead run to score with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning.
