S

ummer for me is a time of reflection. As a former educator, this was the time to look back on my previous teaching year. Did I do my best? Did I make their life better? Education isn’t just about the subject taught, but about improving the mind and the soul. How can we nurture our students so they will be happy well-adjusted adults. Isn’t that what we all want for our future generation. They will be taking care of mother earth, our plants and animals, and us. This is also true of Montana Bowhunters Association. MBA takes care of our children. They educate them beginning at a very young age. One of my grandsons loves to shoot his “bew” and stalk deer and bear. A few of my other grandchildren are anxious to sit up in a tree to watch for elk. They even practiced climbing up and down the ladder this summer. While they were up there, they practiced glassing the surrounding area. Our granddaughter Taylor, at six years old, has her own pair of “binos” now. MBA also takes great pride in care of land and animal. It is so important to give the young time to grow and mature. Staying out of the hills in the early spring gives mom and babe more peace…without humans interfering. The conservation efforts don’t go without notice. How else could Montana have such an abundance of wildlife. Have a great fall! I hope you get the big one and that you can feed your family well. Enjoy the great outdoors.
