Hunt map
Hunt map
So far I have been lucky enough to hunt 21 States and 8 Provinces.
This map has different colored pins, one color is up-coming hunts, another for hunts where I did not connect, another for hunts where I connected but less than a P&Y qualifier and finally one color for a P&Y animal. Helps with the memories as I age:)
