Sunshine In The Swamp
Our turkey hunts are underway. We traveled down just a few hours north of Miami to get started filming our 2006 turkey season.
As you can see, it wasn't a water haul. We came back with one at least. Dad took this fine Osceola.
Osceola's are 1 of 4 subspecies of of the Wild Turkey. And they are only found South of the Central Florida line. How 'bout that for some wildlife knowledge ... don't you feel smarter?!
I'll try and keep you posted on our hunts and what's going on. We leave for Mississippi in a few days to continue chasing toms.
All of the footage we are capturing is going toward our DVD projects for 2007. The Osceola footage will go toward a project I'm really stoked about ... we're calling it "My Dad Can Beat Up Your Dad."
It's going to be a DVD that is in book form, and we're calling it "the only book you'll never read." It's a father/son story that uses turkey hunting and flyfishing to relate the different aspects of a father raising a son in the outdoor world.
I think you'll really like it. It's aim is to try and help fathers and sons develop close relationships, and so we're modeling that by how dad accomplished those things with me.

Hey Jason, Great to see you and your Father all smiles. Looks like the Osceolas didn't take your warning seriously. Perhaps though to the casual observer the real story here may be over looked. What I see is just what you are planning to expand on in the DVD. That beautifully crafted relationship between you and your father. Considering what you, I and our father's have went through in the past year makes things like this even the more sweeter. I look so forward to your video. Evereyone of us father's know how much we crave a relationship with our sons and how rewarding it was for those of us blessed enough to have had one with our fathers as sons. What a priviledge it is to know that our Heavenly Father wants to pursue a relationship with us the same way. I know the heart the Lord has given to you for sharing that. What a wonderful opportunity and perfect venue time afield with father and son is. I will enjoy watching as well and encouraging men to pass on their mantle of faith along with the 2nd great heritage in this world...The Great Outdoors.
God bless and get er done!

Dan ... yes, you are right. It's the relationship between a father and a son that is huge for this project. I really hope to bring some healing and mended bridges to fathers and sons in this thing. That's what I'm praying anyway!
