Thanks Mikee. Nicely put. I feel people's frustration, but I would and have happily (though sadly if that makes sense) sacrificed a few weeks of hunting and other privileges so that hopefully some people and their loved ones can still be here now. For me also it was never about what the government did and didnt decree and what I could get away with. It was about doing the right thing to help protect us all. Whether we could of hunted or fished during this is of little consequence to me. I agree we probably could have. There were far bigger issues at stake. These were and are very strange times. I think we should all remember the fear and uncertainty at end of March about what our country was going to look like in a couple months. The fact is that things are looking a lot brighter on the health side and we now need to band together and help those around us who are struggling financially. I dont mind admitting that I have taken a huge hit. I don't think anyone would disagree that had we done nothing and ended up like America, that the economy was going to take a drubbing anyway and for a lot longer. Imagine if we can beat it and have the freedom to move around comfortably within our country and re build locally. My heartfelt condolences go out to those of you and your families who have suffered heart break during this time.
