" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

This area closes at the end of May.  then I will probably switch to a Unit that is open until the end of June, but I will probably only hunt until mid June this year.

Sweet, and a lot of meat on that bad boy
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
