There will be no edition of The Hunting Wire on Monday, May 25, in observance of Memorial Day, our next edition is June 1, 2026.
For generations, America’s hunters, shooters, conservationists, and outdoorsmen have answered the call to serve this nation in extraordinary numbers. Many never came home.
Memorial Day is not simply a holiday. It is a day of national remembrance for those who gave their lives in defense of the freedoms we often enjoy quietly, in fields, forests, marshes, mountains, and small towns across this country. It is a day that impacts many of us on a deeply personal level with family, friends, and colleagues lost.
From all of us at The Hunting Wire, please join us in our remembrance of the fallen.
- Jay Pinsky
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
– Major John McCrae
