For New York State’s Southern Zone’s opening weekend of rifle we welcomed Josh and his two sons Justin and Cole. The weather around here changed drastically from one day to the next. Saturday, it was 65 degrees and we were hunting in t-shirts. Sunday’s temperature dropped to 33 degrees with at least six inches of snow. Even with these extreme conditions, they almost were able to fill out that buck tag. Unfortunately, the doe that it was chasing wouldn’t stop for them to pull off the shot. We salute Josh and thank him for his service as he’s an United States Army Veteran. We look forward to having him and his boys back next year!
