Twitter Responds to Hunting Season
by Chris Haught · October 16, 2013
It’s our favorite time of the year. No disrespect to the spring and summer months, but just the thought of fall is what gets us up in the early hours of morning. Although hunting season opening dates vary widely across the states and by species, the hunting community is bursting — or should we say Tweeting — with excitement. We’re already seeing hero shots that we love. Take a look at what the Twitter-verse is saying about this year’s hunting seasons.
The Anticipation
Are you one of those people who wishes hunting season was year-round? If so, you’ve been counting down the days since last year’s season ended — and we don’t blame you! Take comfort in knowing that you’re not the only one suffering.
It’s about finding yourself.

The Education
If you haven’t completed your hunter safety education course, your anticipation will lead to nothing but frustration as you sit out for another year. Take a look at what current students are saying about their hunter safety education course. Don’t let these hunters have all the fun!
In great company.

The Preparation
If practice makes perfect, then there are plenty of hunters gearing up for the upcoming seasons. From the game that trail cameras have picked up, to sharpening your shooting techniques, preparing for the hunt is just as important — and can be as fun — as being out in the field.

The Results
Hunting season is great for the memories, but it’s even better if it includes hauling in meat for your freezer or a trophy for your wall. Check out what these hunters have already harvested this season.
