June 25/2015

Taking a morning out of our hunting schedule we paid a visit to our local High School, ADSS where Former UFC World Champion fighter Matt Hughes and Purple Heart recipient Wounded Warrior Charlie Lemon spent some time talking with the students about their careers, the mental mindset it took to get them where they wanted to be and the preparation and hard work to get there. 
After the question and answer period, Matt took to the wrestling mats where he worked with some of the Armada Wrestling Team and demonstrated some of his wrestling moves and grappling submissions. 
It is awesome to give back!!!

Shared by Patricia Ketchem:  We went to the Veteran's cemetery today to help put flags on the graves. One caught my eye. It was that of Matthew J. England. 22 years old. KIA Iraq 2011. I came home and looked him up. He is the first modern KIA in the cemetery. Humbling experience and I thought I'd share his picture. This is him being flown into Dover and one of him in his uniform. May we never forget what Memorial Day really is about and may we always remember these sacrafices.

 

May 14/2015

What a great way to start the week! First day success with my good friend Girme, all the way from the Philippines. An amazing beast of a bear that will be 20+ years old, will measure 8 feet square with the most gorgeous hair I have seen and definitely weighed over 600 pounds. This meat will make a mountain of sausage!!!

Just received this message from Sandy, our Saskatchewan Guide / Chef / Trapper / Head organizer and everything else. Sandy lives right next to our Whitetail area and keeps me updated on weather and predators. Between her and Troy, they keep the predator numbers down!! This message was great news, November cant come fast enough!!! Great work Sandy!!

"Sean, A bit of an update. .. weather has been gorgeous! Very little snow and the deer are out grazing and actually putting on weight! I've been hauling some pretty great hay off a field that borders the park and usually the deer get into it big time. .BUT....NOT YET THIS YEAR they have so much to eat in the bush and bare fields that are on the fringe. So far so good boss!

We've also got a few wolves out of your area and a ton of deer Killin coyotes! 

Also some big old beavers that have been flooding some of the area. ... maybe we will be able to access some more ground ....Kind of excited for next year already." Sandy
