As the year draws to an end it’s natural for us to look back on the year that was as well as to look forward at what the New Year will bring. There has been a lot of turmoil this past year with wildlife issues in North Carolina and probably better described as a roller coaster ride.
This past year it seemed that those who had been fighting to allow hunting on Sunday had won a partial victory with the passage of Bow Hunting only on Sundays. A rarely used procedural tactic sidetracked it and a number of other changes causing uproar in the hunting community. I hope in 2010 many of these things get settled and hunters and pro hunting organizations look past their differences and focus more or those things that connect us.
Four years ago this month I launched Moose Droppings and it has been an exciting journey so far. There was only a few outdoor theme blogs at the time and I suspect there was only a few people reading mine. Since then the outdoor blog world has grown, even a lot of the media giants in the outdoor world have now jumped on board with blogs of their own.
There are many people I need to thank for helping me along the way. The support my wife, my family, and friends have given me has been great. Many in the blogging community most can be found on one if not both of these networks Skinny Moose Media and The Outdoor Bloggers Summit have encouraged inspired and challenged me over the years.
Finally to my readers who come in here every day to read my posts I say thank you.
What started as a hobby to document some of my hunts and stories is now an important part of my life. I look forward to 2010 and all the exciting things we’ll do along the way. Happy New Year Folks and Thanks Again
