Do pigs count.And a few flies. I can't bow hunt in Quebec until I take the bow course and shoot at targets. I can't even rifle hunt yet due to my card not showing up yet to allow me to buy a license to hunt with a gun.That includes a shot gun for birds even.
maybe 50 taps for 2011
Finally ready to boil when I get enough sap
I just might be crazy.( make that I know I am)
Trees all tapped except the ones with 5 feet of snow.
Enough rabbits to keep Elmer busy..
Archery season begins Saturday here in Pennsylvania. The season lasts about six weeks so I don't go out until about the third week or so. Too many leaves out until then. I usually take the last week off-bucks are really on the prowl then. Best of luck to those that do get out!!!
