2013…Wow What A Year!

jeff rawlinson February 2, 2014 Leave a comment

I know there is a lot more season to go still in the hunting woods but I had to  spend a few minutes the other day reflecting on 2013 and all the memories made.  From outdoor workshops to hunts with family and friends, 2013 was just plain awesome!  I thought I would just share some of my 2013 memories with you.

I started the spring with outdoor expos and turkey hunting and ended 2013 in the goose blind.  Everything in between was just plain awesome!  Here is to good friends, family, the pride of hard work and the memories afield that will last a lifetime!
