New Website is up

Our new website is now up. We are really excited about the job that Rob and Graham over at Sports Scene did on it. It's very simple and clean and easy to navigate. The store should be up in about a month once we get all of our merchandise sorted out. Check it out http://www.outdoorquesttv.com

The Puma SGB Featherweight

I just have to comment on this little gem of a knife. I took the Model 25 or 2.5" model on Sandi's ram hunt for caping and deboning. I didn't take anything to sharpen it with to save weight. I didn't regret either decision as the little knife performed mightily caping and deboning the ram with ease. It is still nice and sharp and ready for the next trip. At about 20 bucks retail this is one thrifty piece of gear I won't be with out.

This week on Outdoor Quest TV

This week on Outdoor Quest TV, Vanessa and I hunt the South Island of New Zealand for fallow deer and the very elusive chamois, with Telford Fishing and Hunting Services. You'll get to see some great long-range shooting on this episode.

Sandi's opening day ram!

In a fitting end to a grueling journey of many years Sandi fulfilled her quest for a bighorn ram at 7:14 on opener morning. The tale is a long one that will take some telling and will make a fabulous TV show for the 2013 Outdoor Quest series. For now I'll let the pictures tell the story of the grit and determination this little lady had to enter the exclusive club of successful bighorn ram hunters. Congrats Babe!

August Long Weekend

We got out for our tradituional three day hike on the August long weekend and despite temperatures in the 30s, we still managed to cover about 50 kms. It was new country for all of us and we had a great time exploring it. Vanessa and I hiked up to an absolutely beautiful lake one day. I'm sure we were the first people to visit it this year. It's amazing that places like this still exist so close to Calgary. We spotted a band of rams high in the rocks and despite the heat waves, we could tell three were legal. It was great to find some new ram country. It was a great weekend shared with some good friends and a couple of canine companions.
