Trail Escapes, like many others in the last few days, was was devastated by the flood in the Baton Rouge and surrounding areas. Our office was under 4 feet of water, as well as our home. Everyone is safe and trying to cope with the aftermath. It will be a long road back but we'll get there. I ask all our friends and clients to keep us in their prayers during these trying times.

This is a few of our hunters on our annual duck hunt in Arkansas. Great rainy day hint!

Well, it's happened again today, another police officer killed in the line of duty. As the father of both a police officer and a soldier, this hits to close to home. Here's a quote I came across that sums it up very well.

Today, I will not answer the radio call that your boyfriend has come home
drunk and is beating you again. Today I will not answer the radio call
that your 16 year old daughter, who is very responsible, is four hours
late coming home from school. Today I will not answer the radio call that
your store has been robbed or your house has been burglarized. Today I will
not stop a drunk driver from killing someone. I will not catch a ra**st or
a murderer or a car thief. Today I will not answer the radio call that a man
has a gun or tried to abduct a child or that someone has been stabbed or has
been in a terrible accident. Today I will not save your child that you locked
in a car or the child you were to busy to watch who went outside and fell
into the swimming pool, but that I revived. No, today I will not do
that.

Why? Because Today I was killed by a drunk driver while I was helping push a
disabled car off the highway. Today I was shot and killed during a
routine traffic stop to simply tell someone that they had a taillight
out. Today I was killed in a traffic accident rushing to help a citizen.
Today I was shot and killed serving a warrant on a known drug dealer.
Today I was killed by a man when I came by to do a welfare check because
his family was to busy. Today I was killed trying to stop a bank
robbery or a grocery store robbery. Today I was killed doing my job.
A chaplain and an officer will go to a house and tell a mom and dad or a
wife or husband or a child that their son or daughter or husband or wife
or father or mother won’t be coming home today. The flags at many
police stations were flown at half-mast today but most people won’t know
why. There will be a funeral and my fellow officers will come, a
twenty-one-gun salute will be given, and taps will be played as I am
laid to rest. My name will be put on a plaque, on a wall, in a building,
in a city somewhere. A folded flag will be placed on a mantel or a
bookcase in a home somewhere and a family will mourn.

There will be no cries for justice. There will be no riots in the streets.
There will be no officers marching, screaming “no justice, no peace.” No
citizens will scream that something must be done. No windows will be
smashed, no cars burned, no stones thrown, no names called. Only someone
crying themselves to sleep tonight will be the only sign that I was
cared about.
I was a police officer."

We have just finished our inspection tour of our first Texas hunting lodge. This is a 5-star class Exotic ranch. This is an Executive Level location with less than twenty hunters a year. Trail Escapes is the exclusive booking agent for them so call us for details. We also can host business groups for meetings and photo safaris as well.

Ancient Caribou hunting site found underneath Lake Huron

Here's an interesting article I came across. Hunters have been around a really long time! http://www.foxnews.com/science/2014/04/29/ancient-caribou-hunting-site-discoveredbeneath-lake-huron/

foxnews.com An elaborate array of linear stone lanes and V-shaped structures has been discovered on an underwater ridge in Lake Huron, marking what is thought to be the most complex set of ancient hunting structures ever found beneath the Great Lakes, according to a new report

Well, the fishing keeps getting better and better. We were at one of our Alabama lodges last weekend and tore up the bass on their lake. We caught and released over 55 bass with this 7 1/2 lb being the best caught. You should have seen the 10+ that got away.

Ok, way to busy for the last few weeks but time well spent. We are going to be adding new fishing and hunting locations in the next couple of weeks. My son Brian and I got on the Redfish with our newest Louisiana fishing guide. And, can you say "BOWFISHING"? Well, there's also bass fishing and turkey hunting and duck hunting and tv shows and,,,, ok, I'm tired but happy!

Stop by booth 2427 at the Louisiana Sportsman's expo. Meet Ryan Bland of Non Typical outfitters, our premier Whitetail outfitter in Illinois. Unbelievable show specials!! Stop by and say hello!!

Trail Escapes "Roll Call" where is everyone?

Which Buck would you shoot?

Ok, first bow hunt of the season: the good news, shot a doe just before dark; the bad news, she stepped forward just as I shot so it was a little to far back. After trailing her in the dark for almost four hours, with the last 100 yards or so by tracks alone, I lost her. Only the 3rd deer in my life I shot and lost, bummer.

It's that time of year again!

You know,one of the perks of working in the hunting and fishing industry is seeing all kinds of products for the hunter or fisherman. While these range from useful items to downright gimmicks, every so often we see something that really catches our eye and impresses us. So, with that in mind, we have added a new section to our website www.trailescapes.com where our clients can purchase these items. There won’t really be any particular categories on the “Store” tab other than it will only feature products we consider worth recommending to our readers. We will be adding new items as we find them, so check the site periodically for new items.

Remember these firefighters and their loved ones in your prayers.
