We are already approaching summer. It is the time of year when traveling to foreign hunting destinations are in their prime and if you are staying stateside, it is time to get food plots ready, start scouting the big boys, and sight in the bow/guns. In the hunting life, there is really is never a dull moment!!
The world of hunting isn’t just about the next big trip or those memories you are going to make in the upcoming seasons. It is also about preserving our way of life for future generations to enjoy, with that being said we have a big election coming up in November in the state of Wisconsin. While I am not going to tell you how to vote, I am going to encourage you to start researching the candidates for Wisconsin State Governor. Please take the time to see where the candidates stand on the issues and come November take/make the time to get out and let your voice be heard, future generations of hunters may be directly impacted by your Constitutional obligation to vote. In a somewhat recent poll done by the NRA (in the North American Hunter, August 2024 issue) over 10 MILLION gun owners and hunters nationwide are not registered to vote. Given those numbers it is probably a safe assumption that many in Wisconsin are also not registered. I feel that by doing the research and maybe inviting a neighbor or friend to the polls, we have the ability to help Wisconsin do amazing things for the hunting world and for those future generations of sportsmen (and women.)
This time of year is also the time when we start thinking about and finalizing details for our next hunting adventures. I pray that whatever hunting opportunities you are going for – that they will contain happy memories, a meaningful adventure, and stories to last a lifetime. !
