Camouflage, Camouflage, Camouflage or...It's Hunting Season! Or Vegetarians beware , don't go hiking in the woods you may get shot at!

Ahhhhhh a fresh dusting of snow on the mountain,
leaves slowly turning color, a crispness in the air that urges you to go ahead and take a deep breath! It is considerably one of my most favorite times of the year! Er...not the hunting season but the fact that it denotes fall is on its way. I just love it when all the fall colors are in full bloom! A bit of a oxymoron I know but you know what i mean? All those beautiful hues of red,orange,green, yellow oh and of course the florescent orange of hunters caps,vests or jackets. The amount of camouflage people are donning in this town has lead me to believe if an unknowing tourist were to drop by they would possibly be mistaken for landing in downtown Baghdad. Okay , Okay ....The Crowsnest Pass is not nearly that nasty (sorry Baghdadians but I think you  know what i mean) it's just that much camouflage really feels like war is in the air!!!   

Ah some of them truly do resemble poor ole Elmer Fudd. I have patiently stood by and watched my beloved buy article after article of camouflage items. Hats, gloves, shoes, boots, toques, thermal shirts, undershirts, long johns, hoodies, jackets, snow pants, vests, binoculars, range finders ( an innocuous piece of equipment used for something to do with hunting....) uh...what else, oh yes, gps, lighter and...hm am i forgetting anything?   Oh ya, his camouflage cell phone cover! how could we forget that. What really gets fun is when they spray doe urine or moose urine or elk urine all over them selves !! : ) yaaaaaa isn't that special. It really is special.... Especially if someone is practicing sustainable hunting. this I can agree with. The animal has lived a good life, free from pain or torture or being force fed. Free of being confined with thousands of other animals wallowing knee deep in feces and urine. As long as someone is doing it with good intent and plans on consuming the wild meat I have little issue. A good fair hunt with some sportsmanship , hear hear! I myself am more of a gatherer. I go to the grocery store, gather nicely packages things and hopefully fresh produce, flash frozen if need be and for the most part i don't feel any need to put on anything camouflage, unless it's in fashion like that cute little fur lined blazer I bought a while back, hmmm I wonder where that is? I may need to dig it out , strictly for fashion of course!
