I know there is a large portion of our BR members that are hunters and probably more that are hikers/outdoor enthusiasts. I just wanted to give you guys fair warning that these days are getting colder and to be prepared for the weather out there. Also to bring a partner along with you when you go trekking out in the woods this time of year. We here in NH are following a story very closely of a local old hunter that has gotten himself lost in a state park. You can read more about the story here. Im hoping for a safe and happy return to his family.

Good reminder to mention to people travelling long distances to keep some blankets and such in case you are stranded for awhile with out heat and such.

Nice service annoucement lPa!!!

Definitely, Plan your hunt and hunt your plan. . . and plan for the worst!

On the same note, when I go fishing, I tell my wife what lake I will be fishing, what boat launch I will be using and what time I expect to be off the water.  If anything changes I call her on my cell if possible.  I ALWAYS call her as soon as I get off the water.  It takes a bit of worry off her mind, and gives her a chance to get rid on any strange man who may be " visiting."   ;D ;D
