Fun shows in February!

We are rollin!!  The youth waterfowl show will air a number of times the remainder of this week (check your listings).  We had a real blast with these kids, starting in Fergus Falls at Woody Camp and then putting them to the real life test up on Thief Lake.  Fun, smart kids with personality..and they hunt!  Wow are they going to make a good spouse to someone, someday!!  Thanks to Greg Kvale for the awesome fun, food and memories up in northwestern Minnesota.  




Last year it was Door County, this year it was South Dakota for the Eigen family vacation.  I think most of us know what can happen on a long road trip with 3 kids (ages 11, 13 and 16) in the back seat of the Ford F150.  As we headed across Minnesota things were not too bad, but they started to get a little restless as we reached hour number 6 in the truck.  But, we made it to Wall, SD and all was well.  We packed in a lot during this vacation and you are going to get to see all of it during this two part SD Eigen Family Vacation (part 1 airs February 8 and part 2 airs February 15).  


South Dakota has a lot to offer and is a lot more beautiful than a person may think, it has the awesome prairie land where I love to roam but as you get further west it really turns into a different beauty and we got to see it all!  Hunting, fishing, rock climbing, shopping, horseback riding, lots of sightseeing and more!  You will have to watch it - it’s entertaining that’s for sure.  Let us know where you think we should go on our family vacation during year number 3 (this year). 


Following this will be a pretty cool turkey show that will include a DAV hunt at Camp Ripley as well as some other birds hitting the dirt!  This show will get you amped to crack out the calls and start purring and yelping in preparation for one of the most awesome sports there is!  If you are looking to learn more about turkey hunting, don’t forget to check out the spring turkey seminars at Mills Fleet Farm (I will be at Blaine, Brooklyn Park, Oakdale and Cambridge). 




Thanks for tuning in!  It was really fun meeting a number of folks down at the Minneapolis Boat Show this past weekend that have been watching all of our episodes.  Lots of kids too, we will continue to get kids involved as we move forward..this is critical for our love of the outdoors!!  -Dan
