Yes. I had a BC moose/mountain caribou combo hunt in late September that isn't going to happen and has been bumped until next year. I hope.

Yes, indirectly. Lost out on an out o state hog hunt due to company policy. They required 2 week quarantine if you went out of state at that time. Was not willing to quarantine, so porky got a pass.

Yes, it messed up my spring turkey hunt. I drew the 1st week in Michigan but Governor Half-wit had us all under house arrest and threatened to fine people traveling too far.
The the DNR allowed everyone to convert their license to a statewide universal hunt for a month.
So I hunted a day down home in SE Michigan but went up for a few days to where I usually stay albeit a month later. The gobbling that late wasn’t nearly as good.

Yesterday morning I had a group of seven bucks in my back yard. They all had very large racks 8, 10, 12 point. This is the first time I saw a group of bucks.

Yep. My son and I had planned a spring bear hunt here in Idaho but, at the time, we could not enter the state. I have a 16 day BC goat, moose and elk hunt that is supposed to start the 26th of August that I don't see happening.

Only in that I’m REALLY looking forward to spending every day in Oct., Nov. and first half of Dec. in the woods hunting. Actually, hunting is only an excuse for getting away as I really don’t care to shoot a buck.

Just curious. How does the company know if you've been out of state? Sure, I could have lied or obfuscated. But I have been blessed with a good & honest man as a supervisor. Not going to start lying to him now and don't want to put him in a bind. He is a believer in the system, so can hardly conceive of being lied to by gov't or superiors. Also, I do my best to pay back like with like, on the individual and group level.

I had made a reservation for a KY deer hunt, luckily the Covid virus shutdowns occurred before the first payment was due. Will just have to see what 2012 brings, hopefully the virus situation will have settled down by then.

Yes, I believe less non-residents applied so we were drawn.

I didn't pull an elk tag, that's what's affecting my fall plans, not some China virus. I gotta figure sumthing out.

All our group drew buck tags in CO - my assumption is fewer applicants.
The ridges, hillsides & canyons on public Land where I chase elk have not sent me a cancellation. So I expect this will be an enjoyable season.

All I have planned for this Fall/Winter is Predator calling. As long as fuel is available I'm good

Southwest cancelled our flight from Nashville to Denver, but we were considering driving to elk camp anyway.

Yes and no. I had my application pretty well figured out shoulda gotten my second choice hunt but didn’t because of increased demand.
I’m convinced that guys were home locked down during application season and decided that their long postponed trip was gonna happen this year.
That’s ok I’ll shoot deer around here and have a full freezer.

Yep. A spring turkey hunt and fall bear hunt.
Wyoming November deer hunt is still on.
