T o most, falling temperatures and leaves are a dismal bell, tolling the coming of winter. They retreat to the warmth of their homes and prepare for the long cold months ahead. For outdoorsmen, the changing colours bring excitement. We’ve been waiting all year long for their return because they tell us one thing – hunting season is here! For months we’ve been scouting, tracking and target practicing, all in preparation of that one moment. We’ve been dreaming of it all year. The chase, the shot, the delicious meals to follow. To help maximize your odds this season we’ve asked our contributors for their tips and advice on how to close your tags. With all the hype of hunting season, it may be easy to forget that fall also presents some of the best fishing of the year. Taking advantage of the fall feeding frenzy just might yield that trophy fish you’ve been hunting all season. Whether your quarry wears antlers or fins, we remind you to always be ethical and environmentally conscientious in everything you do.
