Lots of Great Shows in 2014!


Happy New Year!  Things are exciting in the “We Love It! Outdoors” world, despite bitter cold that we have been feeling up here in the Midwest!  The new season is starting to hit the air waves and the feedback has been good.  So thank you for tuning in!!  I just returned from South Dakota on Sunday night after shooting some roosters and catching some white crappies with Chad Schilling, my brother-in-law Chris (gourmet chef) and some other friends.  The late season rooster shoot was awesome, with many long-range hits (and misses).  I was shooting a new Stoeger semi-auto 12 gauge and it did a really nice job on the ring necks.  Friday was beautiful, but the weather turned brutal again and that’s when we loaded up the Sno Bear and headed for Lake Oahe for some of the crappies.  Oh, I almost forgot about the coyotes, we got in on some of that action too.  Overall, a very fun trip as always with the Schilling family in South Dakota.

I hope many of you were able to see the water wolf (tip-up pike) show that we filmed up on Lake of the Woods.  If you like to fish but don’t take it too seriously, this would be a trip for you!  Tip-up fishing for giant pike is really exciting and doesn’t involve your total attention all of the time.  Although, you don’t want to get beat to the tip-up by another in your party.  Andy Walls knows this big pike game quite well and he was an awesome person to lead us!  I might have to head back up for another wrangle this March or April, we will see.

Starting up next week (premiering Jan. 11-13, with re-airs throughout the week), the Brainerd Jaycees Ice Fishing Extravaganza show will re-air.  If you watch this, you will want to hurry in to your local Mills Fleet Farm and buy yourself a ticket for this year’s tourney (Saturday, January 25) on Gull Lake in Brainerd, MN.  This is an event that is fished by people from all over the world!  I have fished it more than 20 times and each year it’s a spectacle that raises money for many charities including the Confidence Learning Center.  20,000 holes and over 10,000 anglers are competing for many prizes including a new Ford F150 pickup truck!  This past year it was Broar’s turn to win, as he reeled in a pike that was just over 4 pounds!  Not bad for a local boy who works with my daughter at a local pizza place!!



Following up the Extravaganza will be a big, buck archery hunt with Jeremy Moore of Dog Bone at Bluff Bucks Outfitters in Buffalo, County Wisconsin!  This show will premier January 18-20, with re-airs throughout the week.  Trophy deer, many acres, super people, awesome food and many memories!  Fall in Buffalo County, Wisconsin is where most deer hunters would love to be!  Butch Fox and his son Mark know their whitetails and it was very interesting for me to see the system that they use to get trophies on the wall like most have never even seen before.  I have hunted whitetails for a long time and it’s one of my favorite things to do, this place is something else for the avid whitetail hunter!  Jeremy Moore is owner of Dog Bone, a training system for dogs to search out and find your deer and also help you pile up the sheds in late winter and early spring.  You will have to tune in to this one too J.



Next up (premiering January 25-27) will be a Rainy River Sturgeon fest!  Another Jeremy this time around, this time the fisherman (Jeremy Smith of Lindner Media).  Jeremy has been tangling with these behemoth’s for a long time and has gotten to know not only how to fish these big buggers, but where to find them in this awesome stretch of river.  It was fun enough for me landing 40-50 inchers, but Jeremy kept telling me to wait..you’ll see!!  And then I SAW!!  Wow, is all I can say about this amazing, prehistoric fish that grows to be really, really big.  They tend to make you forget about how awesome the walleye fishery is up there too.


The 2014 line-up is awesome and there is one show in particular that will have you AMAZED!  And a bunch of others that will keep you entertained..big time!!  You can see air times and networks on http://www.weloveitoutdoors.com/schedule/ Thank you for reading, thank you for watching and thank you for shopping Mills Fleet Farm for all your sporting goods needs and more! 

Until next time,
Dan
