There is no safe electronics, and electronic communication, and everything can be scanned, or tracked. When you are online, you are connected. Then it is all about cracking the code. And I am sure, somebody is paid for that, and all the time is working on that. To crack the code. There is also...

I like this concept. I hope this will stick for next seasons.

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

What is expected day bag, for upland birds, and for waterfowl? Thanks!
