🦺🧡 HEY EVERYBODY! CYPRESS HERE! 🐾🌲

So, MAK sat me down this morning and told me that hunting season is just about to open! 🦌🍂

He said, "Cypress, you need to be EXTRA careful when you're out exploring the woods. Make sure those hunters know you're NOT an elk!"

😳 WAIT... WHAT?! AN ELK?! ME?!

MAK, have you SEEN my tail? Or my ears? Or my adorable little face?! 🐾😂

But MAK seemed pretty serious about it, so I figured I'd better take precautions!

✅ Bright orange hat? CHECK! 🧢
✅ Hi-Vis safety vest? CHECK! 🦺
✅ Enough reflective gear to be seen from outer space? CHECK! ✨
✅ GIANT sign saying "I'M NOT AN ELK!"? DOUBLE CHECK! 😂

I think I've got it covered! Although MAK says I look like a furry little highway construction worker now! 🚧🤣

All kidding aside, I want all my hunting friends, hikers, campers and fellow woodland critters to STAY SAFE OUT THERE! 🧡

Wear bright colours, be aware of your surroundings, and remember that safety comes first!

And to all you hunters out there...

IF YOU SEE A LITTLE GUY IN AN ORANGE VEST WAVING FRANTICALLY... THAT'S ME, NOT YOUR DINNER! 😂🐾

Stay safe, have fun, and if you're passing through Elkwater, stop by MAK 'n JAK Grub Hub and say hi!

Your favourite VERY VISIBLE cougar cub,
