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.

2012 ARCHERY HUNT


We gave it our best shot this year.  We learned some things and I think our wives learned a little more about how much hunting season means to us.  They did a great job at taking care of the household while we were away.  It comes once a year.  We could have done a few things different.  I believe we did give it a solid effort.  The next string of pictures and videos will not show any bucks that were stuck with meat missiles from the SLAM Outdoors staff.  I will leave the option up to you whether or not you want to continue viewing the post.


This is Matt hunkered down opening morning.



This is the beginning of the trail we walked many times.


Candid shot of the secretary.

This is about the time when our patience and focus started to diminish a bit.
The SLAM staff spent one evening enjoying a nice relaxing sauna.


Quinn with his prized rock chuck!
Check out that saucy nylon .22.

These next few videos tell their own story.

    That picture has got to go! Great post though. For as much as we got out this year, we sure didn't get too many pics. Glad someone got a few though. But.... once again, no pics of a dead deer. You know he's still walkin' around with an arrow in his a**. Maybe I can shoot him again next year.

    Damn that double chin seems to follow me wherever I go. Hopefully he's gone come Loa.
