Intent is to hunt more but in reality will likely be no different than other years as my work is unaffected by COVID. Either way pretty sure i am going to need more whiskey as i have heard it is a very good preventative - kinda like vitamin D except better.
But if your still hung over at 5:30 in morning and talking to deer they make no sense at allQuote:

So I follow all the rules as it isn't worth my time to fight some kid at a store about wearing a Mask, I wear mine where necessary.
But here is something to chew on. My wife last Tuesday after work was having a stomach ache, apparently this is a symptom of Covid. She was told to go get tested and we all were told to stay in the house until the results came back which by the way took 4 days.
But here is the Kicker if she had Covid everyone at the office would have already been exposed but they never shut down the office. Had she been diagnosed with Covid they would have shut down the daycare after the fact and would have had to find everyone who had come into contact with anyone in the office. She knew it wasn't covid but rules were rules, 3 days of with pay. Kinda of silly.
I will tell you many people I know that were pro mask are now becoming anti mask, pretty much everything Federal or Provincial what the governments are doing are backwards.
BUT..that's not transferring into Hunters...license/tag sales across the board having been dropping for years. And with closures of memberships at many Gun Clubs ranges aren't able to provide new PAL holders a place to shoot their new guns safely.Quote:

Covid didn't affect our Hunt Camp at all this year, same guys same routine. No mask were worn, no one was sick or got sick.
Basically Covid-19 was a non-event.
