TRY VEGAS IF YOU ENJOY GAMBLING

Each week when I sit down to write this newsletter, I end up very grateful that I took the risk to create Craig Boddington Endorsed Outfitters. The reasons tend to vary in their weekly ranking of one, two and three. I'm a rabid entrepreneur and I have tremendous respect for the entrepreneurs that are in this program. I'm glad we've been able to get Craig's work in front of young hunters that respond to digital marketing. And the third reason is I enjoy meeting some of the kindest and most professional outfitters in the world. This week we're featuring one and introducing another. Both family run by great couples.

The first is a long time member: Hunters Namibia Safaris. Founded by Joof and Marina Lamprecht forty years ago. Joof has passed but his impact on conservation lives on. HUNTERS NAMIBIA SAFARIS was Outfitter of the Year for Dallas Safari Club in 2014. Marina continues to publish articles and create impactful videos on hunting's role in conservation. Additionally, meat from the game harvested feeds over 300 students in a nearby school.

Today HUNTERS NAMIBIA SAFARIS is managed by Hanns-Louis and Rachelle Lamprecht. The family continues to be involved in NAPHA and the Namibian government. The family owned and run 50,000 acre dedicated wildlife reserve offers spectacular hunting of free range, self-propagating game in the heart of the Camelthorn Kalahari. The Lamprecht family personally hosts every safari with the ‘old world’ opulence that only a 14th generation African family can. I've been there. The hospitality is genuine and heartfelt whether you're an elite collector or a dumb redneck like me. HNS is Namibia's premier luxury plains game safari company.

They host a maximum of 10 groups per year to ensure that all of our guest have the opportunity at fantastic trophies and never mix groups in camp. HNS: Namibias premier luxury plains game safari company.

Vetting each of these outfitters with a visit is pleasure but also time consuming and expensive. It's a policy we stick to because we care about you the hunter and we care about our credibility. To this end, In September I drove nine hours from our office in Helena, Montana to Lodgepole, South Dakota. This vetting visit was to visit another great family run outfit called PARADISE OUTFITTERS. PARADISE OUTFITTERS is owned and operated by Wayne and Diane Henderson. Wayne's great grandfather homesteaded the land in 1903. Wayne was born there seventy years ago and knows the 2200 acres intimately. Diane and Wayne clearly love the place and are shoulder to shoulder with every aspect of outfitting from building cabins to washing dishes. You'll have plenty of opportunity on pheasant, sharp tailed grouse and Hungarian partridge. There will be no released birds either.

Again, it's a pleasure to vet these great outfits. I feel even better when we decline an outfitter's request to join. That's because we don't want you, the serious hunter to get burned. This happens plenty. Never trust your reputation, hard earned cash or hunting dreams to an outfitter that isn't vetted. That can be from a trusted friend or us. Just don't fly blind, especially online. Try Vegas if you want to gamble, use CBEO if you prefer a sure thing.

Good Hunting,

It's remarkable to witness the election of the first Marine Corps veteran and Post 9/11 veteran as Vice President of the United States. This historic achievement not only highlights the dedication and service of those who have served in the military but also marks a significant moment in our nation’s history.

As exciting as President Trump's election has been, this point needs to be hammered on more. This milestone is a testament to the contributions and leadership that veterans bring to our country, demonstrating their continued commitment to serving the public in new and impactful ways. It’s an inspiring reminder of the diverse experiences and skills that veterans bring to leadership roles.

Some people hate JD as much as they hate President Trump! Doesn’t matter! The majority of the electorate has spoken—by millions of votes. In a few days, as the remaining elections are called, the GOP will likely have control of the House as well. The Progressive road to perdition is closed…at least until the next election. Had Vice President Harris won, I would have felt saddened and concerned, but I would have accepted the decision with the same alacrity I expect from the Democratic Party.
