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.

First report of the weekend: successful morning at sand hollow. Brought 15 or 20 to the boat including a nice 2 pounder. So far so good
We fished until our trolling motor went dead. Did rather well. The pres really wanted to catch one on the mister twister but, I had to spoil it with a graceful swan dive. Good times!
1. I love the soundtrack. Matt: there are people in your family that we need to get on board. 2. I am impressed with the logo choice, definitely my favorite of the options given below. 3. I am also impressed with with constant updates. This blog is informative as well as funny, which is a given when referring to Quinn and Matt, I always get a kick out y'all. Summary: Well done, I enjoy this very much! MMMMM... SO GOOD! :)
Amy.... that was great! I am still laughing! I can just hear u saying "mmm. So good" that's funny. Thanks for commenting and be sure to check back often
Amy thanks for the comment hopefully there will be more to come from you. I know what you mean about the music. Also, I'm just gonna throw this out there: SLAM Outdoors needs to get to Texas for a whitetail/hog/whatever else hunt someday. With your help and our marketing team getting our apparel sales up, we may be able to put something together. I think that a 2013 hunt would be a goal that is both attainable and convenient with Seth's return.
