Dan and Lee are leaving today for their Minnesota bear hunt, so I'm
wishing them luck. Dan's wishing that he gets charged on the
trip...then it'll be complete.I drew my bear tag here in Michigan this fall and will be hunting the
Upper Peninsula starting September 10th in the Gwinn unit. Jeff
DeBacker of Superior Game Ranch has some great bears around his area
and has been running some baits for me. I sent him up one of my
Predator trail cameras recently to get some pictures of what's been
coming in. Jeff says the bears are tearing things up! I'll post some
pictures when we get some. Only a couple weeks left and then on to
Wisconsin for the bow opener!
We've recently been featured in an article for Bowhunting World. Check out the August issue.
Bowhunter Magazine is doing a feature on us for the October Whitetail Special, so we're excited to see that too.
Dan just got a great article on hunting public land in Wisconsin published in the magazine "Hunting the North".
My brother and I were just published in The Huntin' Fool's August issue for our Arizona elk hunt in 2007. They used several of the great photos I took on that trip and my brother John wrote a great article. If I can get their permission, I'll post a few pictures of the article, but you can read abou the entire trip and see photos in one of my older Season Reports from September of 2007.
Also watch for a small blurb about us in an upcoming issue of Field & Stream.
My partner, friend and president of Maestro, Josh Little, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer a few weeks ago now. There are many unknowns yet, but Josh did have his thyroid removed this past Wednesday, and he's home recovering nicely so far. The coming weeks and months will be a challenge as his body copes without thyroid hormone and then undergoes radiation treatments and as we run the business without our president. The news so far has been positive, but it just doesn't come fast enough. It seems to take forever for doctors to give accurate diagnoses. Please say an extra prayer for Josh and his family. I'll post updates when I have them.
