We're finally back in the office from our annual bow hunting trip to MO. Me and my camera guy Bone headed to MO with high expectations of seeing over 100 deer the first day and waiting on the right buck to come by. Boy were we wrong... By day five we had hardly seen any deer at all.

We had everything going against us, the full moon, crops were still in, too hot and youth gun season had them shook up. On the sixth day things started to change. We had one really nice ten point come in, but still out of bow range. We sat all day in the tree not really seeing much. That evening at 3:00pm it was like the light switch was turned on and they started moving.  At 3:40pm we had a monster 11 pointer come in and Bone and I were ready.

This was a long hard hunt and made a great show, you'll be able to see how the whole thing went down and all the cool products we used in our new show line up next year on the Outdoor Channel. Good luck to all the fellow hunters.

Hey All,

Just got back from West Virginia after spending a few days helping out with the flood relief efforts near the Hatfield & McCoy Trails.  For those of you that haven't heard, on the evening of May 8th, the town of Gilbert, WV and several surrounding counties were hit with massive flooding which pretty much devastated the entire area.  We were originally scheduled to be at the Hatfield & McCoy Trails filming all week long starting Monday, May 11^th.  On Saturday morning, May 9^th, we received a call from Bill Reed (owner of Mountain Breeze Motel and Indian Ridge Off Road Customs in Gilbert, WV) informing us of the total devastation of the area and asked if we could reschedule our trip.  As soon as I got off the phone, I told my wife, Melissa, that I was still gonna make the trip down there and give them a hand.  My 16 year old son, Tyler and his best friend, Dakota, also went along for a few days to help out.  

Needless to say, when we arrived, this area was pretty much upside down as we expected.  The National Guard, Red Cross and several other organizations had already hit the ground running and working around the clock to get things back in order.  There were also lots of ATV Clubs that came in to lend a hand and help support the town!

Recovering from a natural disaster, like a major flood, can take some time and patience.  Unfortunately, the communities that were hit still have a long way to go but with a little support, we can help get them back on their feet in no time. 

As many of you know from watching the show, West Virginia is like a second home to me.  I love riding the Hatfield & McCoy Trails and can't say enough about the good people that live there.  Seeing this devastation first hand these past few days, made me realize that we all need a helping hand at different times of our lives.  With this being said, we put together a West Virginia Flood Relief Charity on our web site for all five counties that were affected.  For more information on how you can get involved, please visit our web site at www.fishersatvworld.com.  Any support you could offer would be greatly appreciated! 

 See ya soon out on the trail!
