This was like Christmas day at the mailbox for me. I just received my CT. state land Muzzleloader tag for this season so I am now legal with the proper license and tag. Muzzleloading and Muzzleloader Hunting is a big part of what I enjoy doing and look forward to heading out every year. I also love to shoot black powder during the off season as well. The only thing I would want to change if I could would be to have more time to shoot than I do, it always seems like I am wanted somewhere to do something. I guess that’s life though, maybe things will settle a little after the new year so I can go shoot more.

The other item I got in the mail was a membership packet from the “Quality Deer Management Association”. Before I tell you about the membership I need to say Thank You to Steve and Skinny Moose Media because they covered the cost of me to attend a banquet that was put on by the “Connecticut River Valley Branch of the QDMA”. That cost for the banquet also included a membership.

The packet I received came with a very nice membership card and a very nice decal for my truck. It also had a fourteen page pamphlet on “A Basic Guide to Quality Deer Management” and also a eleven page pamphlet on “Developing Successful Quality Deer Management Cooperatives” and last but not least all the information needed to purchase “Hunting Liability Insurance” if I was so inclined to do so.

I always did like getting stuff in the mail, I mean who wouldn’t. Usually it is all bills or junk mail but not today. We are getting some very needed rain right now and I have to get ready for work so I will catch you all later. Don’t forget that Life is to short so get out and enjoy the outdoors and what it has to offer.
