KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at very reduced power and signal range using a back-up transmitter. This is because of complicated problems with its very old primary transmitter. Local engineers are currently working on that transmitter and consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR mix service or HPPR connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

I've been waiting for deer season like a kid waits for Christmas

I wait for deer season like a kid waits for Christmas.  November just doesn't come soon enough for me, and this season has me feeling a little melancholy.  I'm over 60, and when I think about my favorite deer hunts, the first one that comes to mind is a trip to North Dakota.  I didn't shoot a thing, but the outdoor experience was breathtaking.

Of course, Cindee couldn't let a show about recollections go by without reminding me one of her favorite deer hunting stories was when Larry Weishuhn and I locked ourselves into the deer stand.  

I'll be back with more stories of the great outdoors, and heed my friendly reminder, especially this weekend, to be safe and enjoy the great outdoors.
