Gene,
Relax. 2024 hunting seasons have only been open a few months. I’m out of the field for two weeks, three weeks in one zone, due to deer season being open. I don’t run my dog during deer season, and, I also try to give the public dirt owners, of which, I am one, space for their hobby this time of year.That part will pick up once everyones hunting seasons are open. I think the Pennsylvania guys just opened grouse season.
Don’t disregard what just happened, politically. I don’t believe a similar event has happened in our lifetime, and may not ever again. The death by a thousand cuts of sport hunting has been far too real for me, and continues (nice new tax the folk of Colorado get to pay for the privilege of buying ammunition) but, I’m hopeful there will be a few less cuts in the coming four years.
The politics will die down and the issues with seeing, shooting, cooking, loading, choking, clay birding, and any other subject related to old guns like ours will resume.
You’ll see.
Best,
Ted
