Finally...

Well today is April 30th and that means tomorrow is opening day of the NYS Turkey Season. While the rain and wind filled forecast for Friday foreshadows some difficult hunting, expectations and anticipation is higher than ever. With our increased involvement in hunting as a team, filming, and overall awareness of the sport, we are extremely excited to get to hunting. On top of that, several birds have been roosted and scouted over the past few weeks and Clede had the opportunity to pattern a few long beards at his farm this past weekend.

I will be hunting with my Dad for the first couple days on our farm in Gouverneur, NY while Clede hits up his farm in Lisbon with his Dad and friends. We will be joining up on Sunday to chase birds with bows on my farm where we have access to over 1200 acres of land for turkey season. The potential surely is there, only one question remains; Can we close the deal? I'm confident in saying that come Monday, the hunting journal will have a few new additions.

Good luck to everyone in NYS.

The Beginning of a New Era

Well it's all starting to come together. We've changed our name from North Country Hunting to Venatic Outdoors, we've purchased new camera equipment and increased our huntable acreage in New York by nearly 100 acres to reach almost 2000 acres for spring Turkey hunting and 1000 acres for New York's Whitetail season. The new logo's have been produced and team members are beeing added as we speak. We have nothing but great expectations as we roll into the spring turkey season here in New York with hopes at harvesting as many Gobblers as we can on film this year with both firarms and archery tackle.

To top off the entire ordeal, we have been selected as Pro Staff Members for www.myoutdoorzone.com 's Team Maniac in conjuction with Aftershock Archery. We're very excited to be shooting the new Maniac broadhead produced by Aftershock Archery this year as we believe it will blow through every cage we shoot it at. Also, I'll be shooting the Gobbler expandable at those big thunder chickens this spring and can not wait to see it stop those gobbles.

Matt, Josh and I have been putting in long hours on our properties so far this spring finding new stand sites, scouting the birds and preparing our food plots for the up coming seasons. We're also excited to be using some new Frigid Forage blends for our food plots this year as well as some good looking Antler King products. Be sure to check out our Management Journals to see our results.
