#1 Get a Covid Vaccine, Win A Free Gun

Leave it to West Virginia to take incentivizing a covid shot and make it hillbilly.  Their lottery will include drawings for “state park “weekend getaways,” lifetime hunting and fishing licenses, custom hunting rifles, custom hunting shotguns, and brand-new, custom-outfitted pickups.”

It seems like West Virginia is really pushing this agenda if you lived there. Would you do it for the chance to win some gear?

#5 All Is Not As It Appears in the “Professional” Hunter and Influencer World

While consuming hunting content is a big hobby, I sometimes need to keep my expectations in check. Remind me that what I see on tv or online is the edited-down highlights of a trip. I would often find myself questioning my legitimacy as a hunter when comparing myself to these awesome hunts I see.

People are taking down massive bucks in the middle of the day. They are back at their cabin for a cookout and bonfire. While some of my hunts have ended like that, most don’t. And that is okay. This blog breaks down comparing yourself and your hunts to celebrities.
