Like many here, with the excitement and anticipation of a new hunting season, I have been working the bird-dog, practicing with my crossbow daily and occasionally playing with my mouth calls for fall turkeys. Taking most of my hunting handguns to my private range this weekend and playing with the new steel gongs I put up this summer. Even after half a century of "new seasons", I still get excited and look forward to opening day.
While we all use different techniques to hunt, hunt different species in different parts of the country/world, have different perspectives on what is ethical, have different expectations of what constitutes a "shooter" and what constitutes a valued mentor or partner, I ask all of us, me included, to hunt safe, legal and to try and instill/project a positive image of hunting to all of those folks we come across in and out of the field. Also to try and respect the differences we all have and support other hunters as long as they too, apply those principles. If we can mentor or get one or more folks started and excited about the sport during this new season, so much the better.
Good luck and hunt safe.
