MICHAEL LEE ENDORSES HUNTANDFISHGUIDES.COM
Posted by

New Hunting and Fishing Website receives major endorsement from Michael Lee, host of Backwoods Life TV.

HuntAndFishGuides.com, the website that matches hunters and fishermen with reputable hunting and fishing guides, announced today that it has engaged in phase one of operations by partnering with guides and outfitters all across North America to assist in the company’s aggressive growth. Steve Remington, Director of Operations, believes this will “substantially change the way sportsmen seek out guides for their upcoming expeditions”.

The website service makes finding guides and outfitters quick and easy by allowing the hunter or fisherman to provide a few details about their trip request, then matches them to the guides that can provide the service, and they receive free quotes by email.

This exciting new venture has been enthusiastically endorsed by Michael Lee, host of Backwoods Life TV (currently airing on the Pursuit Channel). “It’s quick, simple, and easy! HuntAndFishGuides.com takes the guess work out of booking a hunt with an outfitter or guide and provides an exceptional resource for hunters and fishermen alike.”

Kenneth Chesson, Freelance Videographer currently with Tom Miranda Outdoors says, “Kasey and Steve have hit a HOME RUN with HuntAndFishGuides.com! These guys are revolutionizing the way we look for guides!”.

For guides and outfitters looking to find new customers and grow their business, they can contact HuntAndFishGuides.com by emailing them at support@huntandfishguides.com. Right now, they’re running an introductory special where guides and outfitters can try out the service for free for 30 days, plus receive a free directory listing on the HuntAndFishGuides.com website. Looks to be a pretty good deal.

Opening the Georgia Turkey Season
Posted by

March 30, 2011:  Michael Lee traveled to Donalsonville, GA with cameraman Jason Heathcoe to hunt with Mike Watson and eleven year old Jordan Trawick on his father Brad’s farm.  It wasn’t long as the sun began to light up the eastern sky that the crew had a gobbler hammering.  Setting up their Ghostblinds on a large food plot between a large cow pasture and a swamp bottom was a perfect spot for calling in birds.  Michael first sweet talked a nice gobbler just out of gun range for Jordan with his Backwoods Assassin glass call.  Then another gobbler came into the plot and took the first gobbler off with him.  A few minutes later six jakes were coaxed into gun range for Jordan and he slammed his first turkey ever!

A few hours later the guys saw a group of birds in a big pasture, one of them a mature gobbler.  Michael and Jason (videoing) crawled to the top of a hill where they could watch the gobbler then Michael called to him with his Backwoods Ninja mouth call.  The gobbler immediately began strutting and gobbling right back.  Suddenly a large group of jakes started running over to Michael’s calling and the gobbler couldn’t let them beat him to the “hen” so he started coming right to Michael and Jason.  Michael aimed his Hawke red dot scope on the birds neck and squeezed the trigger.  Number one for Michael was on the ground!

Talk about a great opening day!
