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.

Benny, come to Lake Powell


We here at SLAM Outdoors would like to extend a formal invitation to Benny Spies to come visit us out west for a little Lake Powell Striper fishing trip. Maybe the show would agree to do a west coast swing or something and this could possibly be one of your stops. We have access to a Private Houseboat on Antelope Point Marina and a sturdy fishing boat. We would love to have you sometime Benny!!

This is why I think Benny appeals to us so much... From his website he says: "To me, it's not about the high dollar game hunt of having the best gear money can buy. It's about enjoying one of America's greatest heritages, having fun with friends, family, & the people I meet. It's about going out & doing things the way I was taught; gettin' dirty, pullin' the trigger & havin' fun. I don't claim to be an expert outdoorsman & I definitely don't offer the latest, greatest techniques to shooting the biggest bucks or bagging limits. But, I will promise to give you an honest, genuine,exciting & entertaining look into the outdoors. I'm a guy who loves to hunt, fish & drink a few root beers with my friends, family & the random people I meet throughout the small towns I travel. So, let's have some fun!"

Now here are a few pics of Beautiful Lake Powell and some of our pictures of recent success there.

Enjoy...











Also, you have inspired us to look for a Toaster of our own to make as our hunting vehicle. This video is Hilarious!
