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.

Brainstormin'

I still remember our first real meeting.  I mostly remember that I was promised cookies and never received them.  But, more important I remember our number one choice.  $6000 / P.G.
I also remember the plan to get some side jobs.  I think we need to stick to the plan.  I would love to work some of the boat off with you guys.  So, let me know where I can be of assistance.

  2. Don't tell anyone, but I'm super excited for you two. Suddenly 10 years of college and 300 days of 9th graders is a small bit worth it- Knowing that part of that boat is mine makes me feel like I've somehow MADE IT in the world... Like I actually have something to show for years and years of work-
    I'm so greatful that Q is willing to work extra to make up for it. and I like the sparkly paint-

    but don't tell anyone I said that.
