SLAM OUTDOORS: February 2011

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 Deadline Is Here!

A lot of thought, anxiety and sleepless nights have occurred since the first meeting of the year. It was unanimous that the deadline for our logo would be February 12th. It is here. Above are a few examples that were done in free hand by the Presidents wife. I believe this gives us a little glimpse of the direction we are headed.

I AM SICK OF WINTER!!

I know I stated that I was ready for winter to be over about

3 months ago, but after viewing my old videos and pics I am

even more ready for spring to be here. I mean the freshness

in the air, flowers blooming, birds chirpin', movies on the lake

and a little bit of swimming! I also enjoy the time when we pull

the cover off Doug and start the spring preparation in hopes that

we don't have anymore incidents like this.

Doing The Best We Can With What We Have
