Whew, two huge outdoor shows in a row is fun but a lot of work. I want to welcome all our new readers, especially the people we met at the shows in Lafayette and Jackson, to our newsletter. This was our first time at the Mississippi Wildlife Extravaganza show but it won’t be the last. We’ll be at the Cabala’s Fall Great Outdoor’s Show in Gonzales, LA August 17^th & 18^th. Come by and say hello!

 

I’ve always felt there are really only two seasons, hunting season and getting ready for hunting season. That being said, this is the time of year to getting the food plots ready. Now is the time to be preparing the ground for planting. As an added feature in this month and next month’s newsletter, we have a series of four video’s made by one of our outfitter’s who has a business making food plots for a lot of the lodges and hunters in his area. He has allowed us to use them in the newsletter and will have the links for them on our website. We have the first two videos this month and will have the last two in next month’s issue. Thanks Ryan.

Not only is it food plot time but you should be making your plans for any upcoming hunting or fishing trip for this season. While there are still openings for all types of hunting at our locations, they are filling up quickly. Our January 10^th Duck and Deer hunt in Arkansas is already half filled, so if you are thinking about going with us this year, don’t wait too long. We are also featuring this location as our Lodge of the Month.

We have recently added several new locations in the Midwest and one of our outfitters in Illinois has had a couple of cancellations during the archery rut season. We want to fill these quickly so there are good discounts to be had. The picture of the Whitetail deer in velvet in this month’s issue is from his place. Give us a call and we’ll give you all the details.
