Good morning all ,
Its turning out to be a gorgeous day today with temps rising and the sun shining.
Wishing everybody a wonderful week and safe travels if your on the roads for the weekend of festivities.
Be looking for updates coming soon for a new venture I am embarking on in the outdoors industry. Contract talks and negotiations have stalled and I have decided to pursue another avenue more suited to my style and ambitions. Updates will be posted soon.
Everybody enjoy and 'Good luck' to those taking to the woods.

Good evening all,

Not a lot to report.

The snow is melting and the weather has turned warmer here in North Carolina. No luck as of yet bear hunting. Did see a nice buck yesterday, however deer season has ended here. A lot of fresh sign today, however no bear movement before the darkness fell.

Ill be heading to Houston soon. Looking forward to the warmer weather.

Happy Holidays all, be safe in your travels…

I did manage to finalize the arrangements for a buffalo hunt in March . My uncle will be joining me as we try our hand at a couple buffalo , some hog hunting and possibly a trophy ram . We will be hunting in Oklahoma at the SSS-Ranch . www.sss-ranch.com . Be sure to check them out the next time your looking for an awesome adventure . Give Steve a call to book your next Safari right here in the states . The ranch consists of over 3000 acres , with a 10,000 sq. ft. lodge with an on site staff that caters to your needs . With over 30 species of animals , they surely have something for everyone . Be sure to tell them I sent yahh .

Let it snow …

As the weather man had predicted , the snow is falling . Expected to get 3-5” tonight followed by some sleet or freezing rain in the morning . Temps have warmed up today allowing the snow.

Still working on details for a March buffalo hunt in Oklahoma.

I hope everyone is having a good week thus far.

Happy Holidays …

     I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend so far . I spent the day visiting local family and friends to the Chicago land area , as well as meeting more family up around the Gurnee area tomorrow . I have been waiting patiently as the Xmas holiday is fast approaching as well as my trip to North Carolina. Started making plans today for a buffalo hunt in March. Hoping to squeeze the hunt in between the February expos and April turkey season.

     The weather was pretty nice today , sunny with a chill to the air. I do believe the weather man is still calling for another storm front to move into the area Monday into Tuesday leaving behind several inches of fresh snow.

     Stay warm folks , and get out and getcha some. Good luck in the woods.

Good evening , I hope everybody is staying warm . The weather has been delivering a one two punch throughout the Midwest for the last few weeks . Now it is slowly reaching out and touching farther parts of the country . I woke up to a fresh couple inches of snow here in Illinois . The temps did rise a bit but not for long . With the fresh snow and warmer temps it was a gorgeous morning to be in a tree stand . It took awhile to talk myself into going to work today. The weather man is calling for more snow here within the next few days thru Tuesday next week . Hopefully we wont get too much as I will be heading out to North Carolina on Wednesday evening . Ive been making plans for the trip and lining up details for purchasing my tags and planning the bear hunt. Good luck to everyone taking to the woods and happy holidays.
