New Year's Toast to 2011

English Setters on point eye Gentleman Bob (on left)
Year number three is in the books at LowcountryOutdoors.com and I am thankful for the first 94 blog followers that keep tabs on the writings and photography of this conservationist and naturalist. Things change each year in the outdoors and 2011 will be remembered for drought conditions, affecting both fish and terrestrial species, and for the impact that coyotes are having on the deer herd. The SCDNR leadership is scheduled to change in 2011 - and lots of NGO's and regular folks are talking and watching for what the outcome will be. Our natural resources deserve the highest possible admiration and care from our DNR, the legislators of the General Assembly and from the general public. I salute those that carry the torch for conservation so that wildlife habitat, water quality and rural aesthetics can be preserved throughout the Palmetto state. Hunting and fishing are honorable traditions and I look forward to spreading that positive message, along with more coverage of everyday recreational pursuits that take place in the Lowcountry Outdoors, which we are so very blessed to live in.
