Montana Woods N Water December 2016 Print Edition | Page 3

Publisher’s Notes Wow...where did that hunting season go? Well at least we still got cat season and ice fishing fast approaching with the colder temps moving in. Don ‘t forget there is still time to get in some waterfowl hunting in as well. What’s Inside Hunting Predator Hunting Contest Winner Tea Party Montana Dan/Trapping Recipes Christmas is just a few days away and I Sportsman’s Meditation Cartoon am about as ready as I am going to be. Some asked me why are we always late getting the November and December Next Gen/Local Celebs Tony Rebo Unleashed edition out. It is by design. I like the publication as close to the holiday as possible. Family members come in for the holidays and if I put it out too early Outdoor Tech Mountain Memories it gets buried with all the sales catalogs. We will be back on track for the Food For Thought January issue if my clunky computer holds together.

I Only seen on our blog: didn’t get a shot at a bull elk and let too many small bucks go early on. I was “What’s Happening To Me“ being pretty picky on the size of buck I was after. Thank goodness for my B tag. Oh well, I sure had fun what days I did get to go hunting! I can’t wait for www.montanawoodsnwater.com/blog spring bear and turkey season.
