Load up the truck with all your family and come down to the Big Buck Expo in Lakeland at The Lakeland Civic Center this weekend, July 13th – 15th. I will be there in full swing with some Hunt Strong/Backwoods Life gear available for sale. I will be hanging out with my Backwoods Life Brother, Kevin Knighton, selling some cool gear we use and believe in like the famous GhostBlind. I will also be hanging out at the Hunters In Christ Kingdom Booth with my good friends Bert Thomas and Matt Northcutt.

Train, Hunt, Eat!
Whether in the deep backwoods in search of Whitetail, or in Colorado chasing Elk, you must be in great physical shape to stay in the hunt. You can have all of the best equipment, but if your most important weapon, “your body” is not prepared for the hunt, you will struggle to be successful. Davie Ferraro, founder of Hunt Strong, will share his secrets on how to be victorious in the backcountry. Commit to the preparation, commit to the journey! The Hunt Starts Here. Hunt Strong, Train To Hunt! www.IHuntStrong.com
Hunters in Christ Kingdom (HICKs)
(Image-Bert Thomas with his 20 year old daughter Kimberlee are all smiles celebrating her first deer!) Sunday morning, Bert Thomas will be speaking at our Sunday morning service in the Muzzy Hunting Camp Seminar room. If you’ve never heard Bert speak, you are in for a treat! In fact, I’d argue it’ll be the highlight of your weekend. Bert is a husband, father of four girls, big time hunter and an all out preacher of the Good News of Jesus Christ!! Service is at 9:10am Sunday Morning and is open to both exhibitors and the public.
