Doing The Best We Can With What We Have

Doing The Best We Can With What We Have

Mission Statement

With the expanded use of social media today, it is easy to look at others' lives and wish you were them. There are a handful of fortunate individuals who get to hunt and fish for a living. There are others who's circumstances allow them to spend more time in the outdoors than most. The truth is.. the majority of us are average people. Average men and women who do the best we can with what we have. For us, every hunt is public land. Every hunt is DIY. We will most likely never own a Yeti, our Igloos will have to do. Never look down range through the lens of a Swarovski or wear anything adorned with the Sitka logo. We will never have a hunting magazine, never be the stars of our own hunting show, become prostaff members, or receive free gear. We have a limited number of days off each year, and limited funds to spend. This does not however crush our spirit or curb our enthusiasm for the great outdoors. We will take every opportunity we get to enjoy the Streams, Lakes and Mountains.

We do not criticize those more fortunate than us. Our hope is to appeal to hunters just like us. Those with limited time, limited assets, limited resources, marginal gear, yet, 100% passion.

The One That Got Away!!



After a long, daily search of KSL and Craigslist, there it was! A bass boat right here in our very own St. George. Listed at $4,500 and sitting on Donlee Drive, owned by the very people that bought our house from our family 27 years ago. Too good to be true? We all went to look at it together and liked what we saw. So, the pressure on the wives began! FINALLY.... I heard those 4 blessed words... MY HELL, JUST DO IT! I couldn't beleive it. Nicole's only requirements were that we take it out on the lake and take it to a mechanic for inspection. So, the owner agreed to let us do it. We showed up at his house and called him to tell him we were there. The Following were his exact words "oh sorry man, I just sold it"

And So, the search continues........

  1. It didn't even have a finder. Remember the wiring? What about the cracks near the motor mount? We made the right choice. Let's keep hunting.

  2. I couldn't agree more with Uncle D. Somethin' was fishy - no pun intended.
