It is no secret that all of us at Silent Draw Outdoors love telling our hunting stories and sharing with others all of the gritty details of the pain staking work that was put into achieving a successful hunt. This past year we have also had the privilege of hearing several stories from those of you who have watched our show or spent time with us in the field. We certainly love hearing of your experiences, but every once in a while we are provided with a hunting story that is documented so well that we have to tell you about it. The hunter in question is Kurt Landwehr and his story of hard work and perseverance is exactly what we like to promote here at SDO. I would strongly recommend that you take a minute to check his story out at: http://www.kurtlandwehr.com/2009/12/test-post-3.html . Kurt, thank you very much for keeping us in the loop with your hunting adventures and for being a fan of our show; your trophy antelope will definitely be in the Oregon record books for quite some time.

Passing on the hunting heritage to a younger generation is something that every adult should have the opportunity to do at some point in their lives.  What a proud moment it is when you see that youngster realize the true meaning of hunting and the importance of conservation and acting responsible with which we have been blessed.   

Admittedly, I have not yet begun working to establish this legacy with my own son as he is not quite two years old; however, I have been honored to watch my brother Matthew pass the hunting heritage down to his son Caleb.  Matt started bringing Caleb to hunting camp two years before he could actually hunt so that Caleb could begin to get a feel for hunting and have a better understanding before it was his turn to take the shot.

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Silent Draw Outdoors Guest Blog.  We added the Guest Blog to the site because we know that all of you have some great hunting stories to tell and we would love to learn more about some of your hunting experiences and take a look at a photo or two.  All blog entries are read by the Silent Draw Outdoors Crew and the best stories will be posted on the web site for all to view.  Please send your stories and photos to info@silentdrawoutdoors.com.

Thanks again, we look forward to hearing from you…
