Spring is not too far away now, and there’s still hunting opportunities a plenty in the hills.
We’ve
got upland seasons till the end of the month, and there’s still plenty
of waterfowling with challenging mid winter goose hunting running into
those spring young bird hunts. The tahr are getting ready to drop lower

of it!
