Spring Turkey

April 8, 2014/in Uncategorized/by kathy

Spring Turkey Season is here!!! The Youth get to enjoy the first week and it is so nice to see kids out in the environment – no iPad, no phones, no videos… just mother nature and wildlife. Quality time spent in the outdoors with family is invaluable and often short lived as our kids grow up incredibly fast. We are so very thankful to be a part of it all. An enormous CONGRATULATIONS to our Abbie!! Weeks of target practice and mounting excitement all paid off. No blind or cover…. she has never sat this still in all her 6 years. Dad was shaking like a leaf with excitement and Abigail simply whispered “I got this”… 11 1/2 inch beard, 1 1/4 inch spurs, 20.3 lbs; one shot… a trophy for anyone and extraordinarily special for our young lady… Nice work kiddo 🙂

Spring Haul Out

April 8, 2014/in Outer Banks Fishing Reports, Uncategorized/by kathy

Another sure sign of spring…. time in the yard!! The Fistful is up and the boys are hard at work prepping for the fast approaching Summer season. A fresh coat of bottom paint, barrels of elbow grease, lots of love and tons of wax 🙂 We’ll spend a couple of weeks again in Hatteras this year beginning May 12th – Days are filling fast so anyone interested in fishing out of Hatteras please let us know as soon as possible!

We miss you all already!! 😥 ), continued work on the farms to get ready for next year, great sound rockfish trips, the quickly approaching spring and all the fun that season brings, and then of course – summertime! It’ll be here before we know it 🙂 A few pics from yesterday’s outing with Karl, Casey and Russell… pretty work fellas!

Ducks!

December 8, 2013/in Hunting - Waterfowl, Uncategorized/by kathy

The word of the day is DUCKS!! Things have been busy busy the last 2 months… never-ending prep work and upkeep to get ready for the big season bearing down on us Saturday (it’s almost here!), the short season (a HUGE thank you to our early crowd… always a blast!), and trips out to the central flyway. One of the highlights of our year is to start the season by heading out west to see lots of great old friends and make fantastic new ones… A part of the country where the scenery is breath taking, the duck activity unbelievable, and the people incredible. A piece of true America…Faith, Family, and Community are forefront and the friends are priceless. We are always so thankful to get back there and spend some time. And now back to business….We’re geared up and ready to get to it this season! The weather is ducky and the birds are flying… can’t wait to see everyone!
