Spring Turkey comes to a close…

What an amazing season!!  We can’t thank our guys enough for all the fun and fantastic hunts this spring!!  What a great way to spend this time of the year… time in the woods and time with good friends – it really doesn’t get any better… Thank you so much to everyone!!  I have some pictures but not all… please send any additional pics my way and I’ll get ’em posted!!

  

 

 

Double Gobblers!

Nice job guys!!!!  A fantastic hunt to polish off an awesome time with these guys… Kelly and David – Thank you so much!!  Two nice birds taken on this beautiful morning… hard to beat days like this!!

 

2 more weeks…

This spring season is going way too fast… just 2 more weeks left!  After years of leaving his gun in the truck and working so hard to call gobblers in for everyone else… the boss decided to take one for himself this season.  A 500 pound black bear completely sabotaged the first hunt of the morning… chasing off the birds as they were headed straight to the call (That’s the second hunt his spring to be foiled by a bear!)…. Karl wasn’t taking any chances with the next opportunity 🙂

 

 

 

One for the girls :)

This spring season is proving to be a productive one! Lots of beautiful birds out there doing their thing…what an incredible display to witness!  We are so thankful to be able to spend time in the woods during this gorgeous time of year… and to watch mother nature at her finest is an amazing bonus…

 

Turkey Turkey!

Once again…Pretty work Gordon!!!  As always!!!!  You are the master 🙂  What a nice bird…looking forward to next time!!!

Youth Day!

We had 3 fantastic young men today… It is such a joy to see our youngsters love the outdoors!  One responsive gobbler was chased off by a 300 pound black bear who wandered into the hunt, obviously curious about the call and determined to check everybody out up close… a fantastic sight to see (although a little unnerving!) but not very conducive for a successful hunt 🙂  Lots of turkeys around and very active during this warm spring!!    Congratulations to Daniel for getting this great bird… Jimmy and Bobby – no worries… the season has just begun!  Thank you every body for a wonderful start to spring turkeys!!

Turkey season starts April 14th

We have a handful of days left for the spring turkey season 2012..Just wanted to post a few pictures from last year..Also the sound striped bass fishing is great right now and we have time available during the weekdays.

Swan Hunting

Its no secret that NC has the best swan hunting wintering grounds in the lower 48..Five thousand permits per year are issued.It is quite beautiful to watch these graceful flyers decoy..We are even lucky enough to kill a few snow geese while we hunt them some days..Albemarle Outfitters still has 100% success on swan hunts every year and we still offer no kill no pay hunts for swan..Here are some pics from this years swan hunts.Notice the one picture with the swan flying in the background..

Duck season comes to a close…

Well… another season has come and gone… what a crazy time of the year but we sure hate to see it go!!  This season proved to be a challenging one due to Mother Nature – 70 degree days, crazy southern winds… you just never know!  Karl worked triple overtime to make sure the best opportunities were presented and it payed off… we had a fantastic season with simply incredible guys.. a huge thank you to everyone this year… you are what makes this profession so special!  We are fortunate to have all of you 🙂 

Quick Update…

Despite the warm weather the hunting has been good!! It requires alot more homework, scouting, very little sleep, and careful reading of the ducks’ “plan” but all the hard work pays off… and the cold weather is coming!! We have been so fortunate to have several fantastic groups with us as usual… we appreciate all the support and always have a ball with all you guys!  Thank you so much everybody 🙂  We are looking forward to continuing another great season and we’ll get more pictures posted when the season is over!  (Not to switch gears yet but… we’re also keeping an eye on the Rockfish situation – looks like they have arrived at Rudee Inlet and are moving this way… gettin close to that time of the year when we get back on the water!)
