Everybody knows that Drinking and Driving, Drinking and Boating and Drinking and Hunting is down right stupid and illegal. Well don’t think so fast. Many believe this is an infringement on their rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Every year I personally see at least one drunk hunter on a Wildlife Management area where it is completely illegal and of course very dangerous to the public. You would think even the most dyed in the wool beer drinker would know better than to do this but common sense doesn’t seem to be that common anymore. What makes it worse is that on private land there are no rules governing this, another reason to be sure you wear plenty of Hunter Orange when gun hunting. An alcohol related hunting or fishing accident is one of the most avoidable tragedies there is, just don’t do it. The great outdoor host and native to Louisiana, “Gritts” Gresham reminded us “When the guns and boats are put up and the sun goes down, It’s Miller Time.”…..Pass it on. - Post By John Simeone

Wisconsin Pheasant Hunting Season Opens Saturday.

Is anyone going? This year pheasant season opener is on the same day as a 2 day deer gun hunt. This T-zone hunt is for does only and is, in my opinion, yet another blunder by the Wisconsin DNR's in their attempt to control the deer population. But that is a good topic for another post. To get back on track here, the T-Zone hunt and pheasant opener are on the same day so if you get out were extra orange and get some orange on your dogs. The public grounds will have hunters on them hunting deer with rifles so be careful!
