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!!
SOUUUUUEEEEEE!!!!!
The latest trip out was in pursuit of wild hog… these boys had their work cut out for them and all the effort paid off in the form of massive amounts of porkchops to transport back home (“Bring plenty of coolers” meant more than one fellas!!) Ron, Tony, Geno, Sherman, Jay, and Mack… you guys are awesome! We really enjoyed spending time with you all and appreciate you hunting with us so much. (We’ll make sure to practice up on our poker game before you guys come back!) Thanks for a great time and hope to see you all again soon!
Spring is almost here!!
It sounds a little silly to say “almost here” with the wonderful weather we have had this winter. Early spring is proving to shape up just as nice!! The sound rockfish are biting and it’s a fantastic excuse to get the whole family out on the water… 4 year old daughter Abbie has been practicing hard and has now mastered casting a spinning reel… She is moving on to tell Karl exactly where to go to find the fish these days!! 🙂 Don’t forget…Spring Turkey season is right around the corner… less than a month away! This is yet another favorite time of the year – a wonderful time to be on the boat and in the woods! Looking for to seeing everybody this spring!!!
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..
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!)
First main season closes… getting ready for the next go!
Thank you so much to everyone for an awesome start to this year’s season!! We appreciate you all so much and are eagerly awaiting the next opening day… It’s almost here!!
Deer and Duck
This week has been busy in the woods and on the water… the rut has been in for a bit and the ducks are starting to show!! We were fortunate to have a long time friend with us this week… Thank you so much Dan! Once again you’ll be the favorite neighbor back home at cookout time!! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family… you have all been through so much – we are so thankful to know Jake is on the road to recovery! See you soon 🙂
This one’s for Sims….
It’s always so much fun to see people you truely enjoy being around… Gordon – thank you so much!! (I’ll make sure the green bean cassarole gets on the menu again for next time!!) I couldn’t resist posting this picture…that was just too funny! Sorry Sims 🙂
In the timber…
Sorry about the report delay… This time of the year we spend alot of time running around between the beach, the woods, swamp, timber, open water locations… and the list goes on!! Jimmy… congratulations on a fine hunt!! Crazy action in the timber requires great shooting – fantastic job!! Jim and Jamie… always a blast!! (I can’t believe I missed the steak dinner… again!!) Thank you so much..See you guys soon!!
