COVID-19 CLOSURES!

As the Coronavirus “Pandemic” continues to impact our lives more and more states are closing spring hunting seasons to non-residents. This move was addressed in a previous blog post by Guy Eastman as he made some predictions about fall hunting seasons. While we here at Eastmans’ don’t think that fall hunting seasons will see any impact western states are shutting down non-resident hunts for bear and turkey as we speak.
