While the mid-summer weather is attractive to us, it can be a curse on fishing productivity. Thankfully our team of knowledgeable writers have some tips to help you set more hooks into more fish this summer. With the hot sun shining and the lake calling our name, the idea of hunting is often far from our minds. But the most successful big game harvester on the planet know that the hunt never ends. There are plenty of things we can be doing during the summer months to prepare for the next season – including scouting. The more time you spend in the field getting to know the animals in your area and learning their habits, movement patterns etc., the better chance you have of getting those antlers on lock down before the season even opens. In this issue, our contributors are teaching us their big game scouting routines as part 1 of a 2 part series. So don’t miss the next issue when they teach us how to pull it all together for a successful end. No matter whether we are on the water as anglers or in the field as hunters, conservation should always be at the forefront of everything we do. This means being ever mindful of the footprint we leave while we are afield and of the impact of our activities and decisions. At Wild Guide we believe that conservation is everyone’s responsibility which is why we are launching our new Canadian Conservation News s ection (page 37). Wes David and Kevin Wilson will be discussing important conservation issues from across Canada in order to educate us as hunters and anglers. It is imperative that we stay informed on these issues in order to ensure that the impact we have on our wildlife and ecosystems is always a positive one. So this summer, no matter if you are chasing Walleyes or Whitetails, be safe, ethical and conservation minded in everything you do. YES!
