Things that make you go...Hmmmmmm!

Shortly, we'll be heading out to check in with our new friends at Drake University. About a month ago we were guests of Timothy Johnsons class in the MBA program called "Creativity For Business".

We posed the challenge of expanding our business through the use of Viral Marketing and Social Media Networks.

It will be very interesting to see what type of solutions get presented tonight from the three teams assigned to our business. We get to select one winning team, however I know at least 18 highly capable people were involved...so it should be quite interesting!

I'll keep you posted!

Spur' It Up!!!

Super Black Rosin

Be sure to check out this short video about how to rosin your bull rope. It includes information about how to apply glycerin and the use of both black & amber rosins.

If you are looking for the extra sticky black rosin, we have just released our latest "Super Black Rosin". I highly doubt you can find anything that is stickier...if you can we want it!

No Luck So Far...

Yesterday we spent the better part of 15.5 hours going stir crazy in a blind.....just dreaming of seeing something like this.

We got close, having three young ones (Jakes) come almost within range.

If there was ever a test of patience...oh' buddy this is it!

Well...we are off to a great start!

So we decide to go scout for turkeys...right? Well, I guess when it rains 6 inches in Iowa we should know better than to try to get back in the fields....

Take a peak...the battery went dead or you'd get to see the really good part.

Turkey Calling Tips

Some pretty good advise on Turkey calling.

We'll be heading out to the woods this afternoon to do some scouting. Then tomorrow morning is game on!

Although the weather has been rainy with quite a bit of regional flooding, it is shaping up to be an excellent weekend that I am really looking forward to. It's been at least 4 years since all of us (Nathan & Dad and myself) have had the chance to get together and hunt spring turkey.

Hey Cory (& Mark)! Remember what I said....you are more than welcome to join us for 4th season if you are interested. I know Adam is on-board and planning for it.

Can't promise you a bird, but we'll sure try!
