We took our annual going back to school outing on Friday to Noah's Ark. What fun that was, a beautiful day and time with the family a win win situation. I have to admit though the only ride I went on was the lazy river (I'm getting old you know). On our way we stopped at Ship Rock, a natural rock formation that has over 300 stairs to the top for a breathtaking view. It's located about 7 miles west of Coloma. There are markings on the rocks of all the travelers passing by that go back hundreds of years. Get out and explore some of Wisconsin's Natural beauty.

A special thanks to Tiffany Lakosky for joining us on last nights show. If you didn't get a chance to listen live please download the podcast and check it out. She was fun and gave us a great insight to how the Crush CLICK HERE came to where it is today. Lee was unable to join us, with the rainy weather they have been having he was taking advantage of the dry spell to get some food plot work done. Join us at Gander Mountain this weekend for the First Shot event wrap up. We have Bruce Witte from Nikon Optics on Friday the 20th and Jim Schuepeltz from the Ruffed Grouse Society in on Saturday the 21st.

The fall food plots are in. Planted some Whitetail Institute Winter Greens and Pure Attraction this past Sunday. With all the moisture in the ground the seed should germinate quickly. Also checked the cameras, should be a great year. Make sure to stop in at Gander for the last week of the first shot event. Also on Saturday Jim Schuepeltz from the Ruffed Grouse Society will be in the store to talk Grouse hunting and sell tickets for their upcoming fundraiser banquet.

If you have any questions for this weeks guests Lee and Tiffany Lakosky please e-mail them to lto@wcinet.com and we will do our best to get them answered.

As we get closer to the hunting season the juices start to flow. I will miss my annual trip to Wyoming to visit the Magee family and chase Antelope and Mule deer. On a better not I have drawn the highly coveted Iowa bow tag. Three years in the waiting the time has come to spend a week with my friend Jack Schaefer in the mighty town of Fairfield. Missouri has also presented an opportunity with Mike Helbing and Double Duece Ranch in Powersville just across the Iowa border. A new adventure in another state, looks to be an awesome bow season this year. If you need a quality hunt you need to contact Mike at helbing @centurytel.net or call 608-572-2389. At his place in Missouri you get 1 buck tag 1 doe tag and 2 turkey tags and some outstanding accommodations for only $1200 for a non-rut hunt. Don't forget to stop in at Gander Mountain and check out the FIRST SHOT event going on thru August 22. The hunters dream plenty of stuff on SALE at great prices or check out the web gandermountain.com. at If you ladies want to know more about the outdoors check out N.E.W. outdoors at northeastwisconsinoutdoors.com. The picture is what Iowa has to offer.

Thanks to Rick, Dan and Andy for helping with the rebuilding of the damaged bridge. I could not have done it without your help. Beavers can cause extreme damage to your property just take a look at the before and after pictures of the bridge.

Hard to believe the 4th of July has passed by already. Hunting season is just around the corner. Keep in mind Bow season starts it off. Make sure your bow is ready, we can tune and check your bow before the season starts. Another thing to remember is get ready to put in your fall food plots. Mid August is the time for me. We have a huge selection of fall planting seeds available. We will also be scheduling a Fall food plot seminar as well. Make sure you stop in at Gander Mountain CLICK HERE for the huge customer appreciation celebration. There will be something for everyone on sale for the event. Our own Carl Luedke will be doing a Dutch oven demo on Saturday. Also stop in and meet Paul Ruedinger from EZ Access gear CLICK HERE and check out all the newest in Lanyards.

Spent the day at Deerfest 2010 Friday the 25th. WOW if you love to hunt deer this is the show you need to check out. All the latest in bows, clothing, gear, outfitters it's all there. You can also get your deer head officially score by the Buck and Bear club. You have to check out the Pro Hood clothing booth, my friend Andy and I purchased the whole outfit for $89. It included the pullover hood, pants, gloves and a hat. It is the ultimate in early season gear and extremely comfortable. There are plenty of your favorite outdoor celebrities there to talk to and get autographs. I had an opportunity to meet and talk to Lee and Tiffany Lakosky from "The Crush" we may be able to get them on the show over the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned. A very special thanks to Pat Reeve and Nicole Jones. Pat was a guest on last Wednesdays show, great people and a pleasure to be around. Make sure you check out Driven with Pat and Nicole.

Spent this last weekend up at Post Lake. The rain did not stop us at all. Spent Saturday taking my daughter Hannah and her Friend Kendra to the Hwy 45 riding stable. We took a 45 minute ride, the back of my front is still not the same. Did a little fishing, caught a few bluegills and several bass. Father's day is only a couple days away. Stop in at Gander Mountain in Appleton to say hi, have a free hot dog on Sunday from noon until 2pm, register to win a $100 gift card when you sign up for a Gander Mountain MasterCard ( drawing Saturday @3pm) and most important

get that perfect gift for your special Dad.
