Seasons here!

Good luck to everyone getting out. I got lucky and got a doe first day of archery season.

Any big game with bow and arrow is a fine accomplishment. Congratulations! Excellent steaks there!

While scouting for moose today I met an archery hunter from Ned looking for a cow moose. His season started two days ago. He'd seen bulls but no cows. We met a Sheriff's officer who said he'd seen two cow moose off Magnolia, so the archer headed that direction. While exploring I came upon a cow moose at 60 yards and save the coordinates for the fellow hunter. A while ago I called him and he was already butchering his cow moose.

I met a muzzleloader buck hunter from OK and pointed him to where I'd seen two nice bucks earlier. He'll probably go there in the morning. I didn't see a bull today but both he and the cow moose hunter showed me where they'd seen bull moose. I like meeting other hunters in the field and while there's an element of competition, particularly when you're hunting the same game, I figure we're all in this together.

Yesterday, Mrs. Hummer and I scouted another mountain canyon and drove by a house. The resident had a big sign on their truck that said, "It's not food, it's violence". This is the mindset that should keep hunters (and shooters) working for one another.

Great job on sharing of the information with the other hunters. Always have enjoyed talking with other hunters in the area who are open to talking about things they are seeing. Good luck on the moose hunt, I am sure its been years in the waiting for it.

Sadly, a lot of non-hunters think that way. If they only knew that the violent part is such a minuscule amount of the time spent in the woods. I doubt it will change most minds, but I have ran into some that when talking to them at first they seemed like it was shooting fish in a barrel as they only know of animals in the city parks. They left with a different understanding of how different the real wild animals are.
