Tomorrow 11 Nov. 2009 Should Not At All Be A Speechless Wednesday, usual here in the ActiveRain community, tomorrow is called Speechless Wednesday for some special blog posts. I would like to ask the members of ActiveRain, instead of writing a Speechless Wednesday blog post. Write a blog post that has to do Veterans Day. We could call our blog posts tomorrow Veterans Wednesday!

There are many subjects we can write about to Honor this day for our Veterans and the Men and Women that are servicing to protect our Freedom, and our Country.

Tomorrow 11 Nov. 2009 Should Not At All Be A Speechless Wednesday, why not write and blog post that has to do with a Veteran you know, or a someone you know that is serving now.

You could write a post, about why you love America, or why your proud to be an American.

I also would to ask that every American, tomorrow search out Veterans, and Service Men and Women, to thank them. How about taking a Veteran or Service Man or Woman out to lunch even.

Happy Veterans Day!! and God Bless America!!

(A big Thank You to all my Brother's and Sister's In Arms)

New Hampshire Deer Hunting Series Part Two of Two, Firearm Deer Season opens this coming Wednesday 11 November 2009, and goes through to the 6th of December 2009 .

Seeing that we have many homes for sale near and even in the woods, and seeing lots of folks enjoy going out in to the woods near their homes. And seeing that New Hampshire hunters are able to hunt in just about any woods in the State. I'd like ask that Home Buyers, Real Estate Agents, and all those that enjoy going out into the woods of New Hampshire, please use Caution at this time of year. You just may want to think about wearing some kind of Hunter Orange clothing when your going to near the woods.

Being a hunter myself, it sure makes me sad to have to say this. But the truth of it is, there are some hunters, that just don't think once they get out into the woods!

New Hampshire Deer Hunting Series Part Two of Two, Now I'd sure like to ask all my fellow hunters to use the Rules For Safe Hunting, when your out in the woods.

• Control the muzzle of your firearm. It should be pointed in a safe direction at all times. Treat every firearm as if it were losded!

• Be sure of your target and look beyond, before you ever raise your firearm or draw your bow.

• Wear hunter orange to make yourself more visible to other hunters. Never assume you are alone in the woods.

Although the State of New Hampshire dose not require us to wear Hunter Orange, but the State of New Hampshire dose give us a Hunter Orange Recommendation.


New Hampshire Deer Hunting Series Part Two of Two, Hunter Orange Recommendation: Any person hunting with a firearm or bow during New Hampshire hunting seasons, except for a person iegally hunting waterfowl, should wear a hat, vest or other suitable article of clothing of material in the color of Hunter Orange visible from all sides at a minimum distance of 200 feet.

Be sure you positively identify your target, and beyond, before you shoot!
