22 November Happy Thanksgiving 2018 from Wild Idaho Outfitters November 22, 2018By George McQuiston Announcements, General Information #WIOAdventures, #WIOFallHunts, #WIOHunts, #WIOSpringHunts, Thanksgiving 0 As the sun just set on the final day of our 2018 Idaho elk and deer hunting season, it turns out we drop right back into another “season”: The Holiday Season! With the first, of course, being Thanksgiving. I personally am glad that Thanksgiving falls when it does this year as it leaves no time for PHD (post hunting depression) to set in. Instead, it is a time to reflect on this past year and all the many incredible blessings we have in our lives. I have said it before and it bears repeating, the best part of our job is the people we get to meet. We always look forward to old friends coming back to join us in hunting camp and the opportunity to make new friends. This year was no different. People make this job wonderful! I have said it before and it bears repeating, the best part of our job is the people we get to meet. We always look forward to old friends coming back to join us in hunting camp and the opportunity to make new friends. This year was no different. People make this job wonderful! We are already pouring over maps and brainstorming ideas on where to put new bear baits, what time and size of trail crew to hire along with searching for potential sites for new drop camps. We hope, for those of you who read this, that you are sharing this day with family and friends and reflecting on the amazing blessings we share in this country. We hope your past hunting and/or outdoor recreation season was just incredible and that you have many adventures in your future. It is the heritage of public land ownership that makes many of these adventures a possibility that creates the reality. As always too, I hope you take time the thank a soldier for your freedoms and God for your blessings! Happy Thanksgiving!
