Happy Hunting Season

Well its that wonderful time of year again, the smell of ripened cranberries and fallen leaves fills the air. There is a crispness to the mornings and a need to gather things to you. This is the instinct we were born with, to gather to hunt, to ready ourselves for the winter that comes swiftly.

 Many humans have turned off this instinct and we will not see them in the woods, hunting. They will not know the thrill of the hunt, the respect and honor we pay the animal that we kill. They will not know we do not waste, as they shop at the local market for meat that was raised on a ranch or farm. We hunters know that the work only begins with the pulling of the trigger.

 We will know our food in such an intimate way, as we clean, hang, and process our meat. Carefully packing it for the freezer, with much appreciation of the effort we put into getting it and the gift of the animal that will feed us all winter.

 So with each of you packing your gear, waking up at 3 am to drive to camp, you go hunting not knowing if you will be successful or not. That's just a chance you take, the investment is the same either way, the hunt is in your blood. We wish you luck, safety and full stomachs for you family.
