Did You Know There are Certain Dates to Hunt Certain Animals?

Did you know there are certain dates to hunt certain animals?

That tells you how little I know of hunting! There are certain dates that you can hunt certain animals. These dates vary by region. You can look up your states hunting season dates. For example, I found dates for hunting birds, deer, turkeys, javelina and even alligator in Texas. There are even special dates for youth hunting (that is, for youth to go hunting, not for us to hunt down our youth! ha!) I found it kind of funny that there is really no closed season for hunting squirrels!

Did You Know About Hunting Season?

Did you know about hunting season?

I am not into hunting and don't know much about it at all. My friend said her husband is taking their two daughters hunting this year. They both seem to enjoy it! For those who hunt, it is a big deal and the opening of certain seasons is like opening day for baseball or football! I have friends who hunt with rifles and one that is really into archery hunting. They spend time getting all their gear in working order for opening day. Cleaning the rifle, making sure their Nikon rifle scopes are working properly, getting their ammunition and supplies and many other little details are imperative to take care of before opening day arrives. Then, we are all thankful if we get to sample some of the meat they bring back!
