Heading to Ohio - Northern OH SCI Banquet this weekend! (3/13/10)

Hey! Here we go again, trying to get caught up with everything!! :) We had a great time in Arizona at the Glendale Cabela's!! It was warm and it didn't snow! Finally, the snow stopped following us!! We returned home on Monday (3/1) and headed right back to work!! We had photo shoots and meeting Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday!

On Friday (3/5), we loaded up the trailer and tried to head to Missouri! First we had Vicki's Expedition hooked up to the trailer, then we decided we needed to hook up Ralph's F250 instead. We (Ralph and I) drove for about an hour and I realized we left the keys to the trailer in my vehicle!! We had to call the office and Jamie ended up meeting us half way back to the office to give us the keys!! Then the GPS that ralph had in his truck is older and it continued to take us off of the main roads!! It took us forever to get to the MO Deer Classic!! :) But it was funny!! :) We met up with some Posse there, Lonnie, Joel, Jessica, Chet, Brady, Bucky & Kevin! They were all there helping out in the booth all weekend!! We had a great show and really enjoyed meeting all of the people!!

Now we have been filming and getting ready to leave out tomorrow for Ohio! We will be speaking at the Northern Ohio Chapter of Safari Club International Banquet in Akron, OH!! We will be there all day Saturday!! (3/13) so come on out and see Ralph and I!! :)

The 'show' season is almost done!! We will be heading to Florida next weekend to Uncle Hoppy's at Osceola Outfitters!! Turkeys beware!! :) We will also have to stop by Dr. Chris' in Alabama on the way home from the trip, as it will be 6 weeks since Ralph's knee surgery and Dr. Chris needs to check out his work!! :)

We hope everyone has a Great day!!

God bless,

Ralph & Vicki

Heading to Glendale, AZ Cabela's for the Spring Great Outdoors Days (2/27-28)

Once again it seems that we need to get caught up! It seems that time is getting faster and faster! We were at the first weekend of the Eastern Outdoor SHow, yes in the first big snow storm, but we were lucky enough to fly out during the beginning of the second big snow storm! We made it out of Harrisburg, just in time!!

We flew into Dothan, AL for Ralph's ACL/meniscus surgery. The surgery went great, and like everyone told him..... rehab, rehab, rehab!! He is going to physical therapy 3 times a week and doing more here at home!! Dr. Chris Robinson, a good friend of ours, did the surgery and he told Ralph that ice is his friend! LOL!! Thanks Dr. Chris, Lisa Christopher, Jeffrey and Beth Ann for hosting us in your house and having to deal with us.

We did figure something out on that trip... Everywhere we went in the month of February, the snow followed us!! FIrst it was Maryland, then Harrisburg and then Dothan, AL!! It hasn't snowed there for like 15 years or something, but it did when we went there!! We really hope that it doesn't follow us to Arizona this weekend!!

We are heading to Glendale, Arizona this weekend (2/27-28)for the Cabela's Spring Great Outdoors Days!! We will be in the store Saturday and Sunday!! if you go to www.cabelas.com and go to the Glendale, AZ store page, you will see all of the details!! Randy Ulmer and Chuck Adams will be there too!! That sounds like a great place to be this weekend..... a bunch of hunters and warm temps!! :-)

We will be at the Missouri Deer Classic, in Columbia, MO next weekend!! We will have our booth there and we will be speaking too!! So come on out and see us there, if Arizona is a little too far!! :)

Have a Great day!!

God bless, Ralph & Vicki

On our way to to the Eastern Sports & Outdoors Show in Harrisburg, PA!!

We are finally doing more things on the east coast!! We just spent the past weekend in Maryland at the NRA Great American Hunting & Outdoor Show and now we are getting packed up for the Eastern Sports and Outdoors Show in Harrisburg, PA!!

We had a blast in Maryland, even if the weatherman said we were only going to get a dusting of snow, and we got 5 or 6 inches of the white stuff!! LOL!! It wasn't too bad, except that we had a compact rental car with no four wheel drive!! We are used to driving in the snow, heck, we leave in Northwestern Illinois and still have a good 10 inches of the stuff on the ground right now, but we have 4WD trucks here!! LOL!! :-) It really wasn't too bad, well maybe a little bad when Ralph did that donut in the 7-11 parking lot!! :-)

We flew home Sunday evening ad have been in the office since! :-) We are busy building TV shows and our new release DVD's!! We have three new DVD's coming out this year, SEVERE WHITETAIL DISORDER 6, BEAR'N DOWN 9 and MOOSE MANIA 2!! Yes, our second moose hunting DVD is being produced right now with a whole bunch of moose hunting on it!!! We have some awesome moose footage again and cannot wait to get this out!! All of the DVD's should be out by the end of April!! I think BEAR'N DOWN 9 may be out a hair earlier...... :-)

So, now we are packing up for Harrisburg, PA!! We will be at the Eastern Sports & Outdoors Show this weekend!! We will be in the Realtree Booth for most of the weekend!
