SLAM OUTDOORS: June 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.

Great Spring!!

The members of SLAM Outdoors experienced a tremendous spring fishing trip out at Lake Powell. We were able locate those special spots on the lake that continue to produce for us. We came home with some nice striper filets and good memories. With a few special guests and new activities the enjoyment was overflowing this year. Because of our success we were unable to get some above average footage (I believe we forgot the camera too). I was able to snap a few photos with my cellular device. Below are the images.

That is me.
