THREE THINGS:
TOE THE LINE. We sit on the northern edge of a boundary that will keep most of the moisture and weather action to the south and east of us. A few flakes through midweek can’t be ruled out, but the worst looks to sweep over SD and MN.
BIG MONEY. The Pittman-Robertson excise tax generated more than $1 Billion in 2018 to be doled out by the US FWS to the fifty states for better outdoor access and conservation programs. A state-by-state apportionment can be viewed here.
READ ON. It’s time to check a couple more books off the reading list. If you love the outdoors, Field & Stream has a great checklist for the sixty books every outdoorsman should read. How many do you have on your shelf?
Stay Sharp!
