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.

Everybody has to start somewhere...


1. If you are able to read this letter, you will notice that SLAM Outdoors has been awarded some tickets to some upcoming college basketball games for our efforts in the community. If any of you are coming to the game, come see us. We will be in the box and we would love to see you.

2. In other news, this is a just a reminder that as of Wednesday, you can start putting in for big game hunts. To see the new Deer map, go here:

3. Will you be putting in for Archery or Rifle? Also, it's never to early to start prepping for our spring trips. In a few weeks we will be getting together to fine tune the boat for the upcoming year. In our next meeting we will discuss the items we need to check on the boat so please be thinking of things you want to bring before the board. (ie. battery, trolling motor, live wells etc..)

4. The western hunting and conservation expo is February 9-12 at the salt palace if any of you
are interested

5. The 2013 SHOT Show in Las Vegas is January 15-18. Please plan now to attend as a SLAM Outdoors staff. We WILL ALL have passes next year.

That's all for now

    Did I read that right? All of us will have passes to the Shot Show? If Benny doesn't come this year, he will next year after being swoon by our own Marketing/PR department.
    Do we need to switch to a marine carpet or are we still okay with the berber? A little turtle wax wouldn't hurt Doug either.
    I really need to get my black Slam polo for the game.
