Get up!

When men fall down, do they not get up? When a man turns away, does he not return? – Jeremiah 8:4

I was reading the bible this morning and this scripture hit me like a ton of bricks. I have seen people who get slapped in face with disappointment and simple give up. I have a family member going through alot right now, so this is for him and anyone else that needs a little encouragement. Here is my thoughts.

Failures do not measure a man.

Failures measure a man’s decisions, but failures in and of themselves are nothing more than pathways to success.

Failures can often teach you more about yourself, and about God’s nature. Successes you keep moving forward, not often relection.

Failures force you to stop and think it through.

Failures do not measure a man … especially when that man is one who gets up from the deck and presses forward. In fact, pressing on is exactly what God intended us to do, because pressing on is the righteous action. It’s spiritually “unnatural” for a man to go down and stay down. Rising up to face the future is where we find God’s great grace. Faithfully moving forward is the actual stage where the journey is really meant to play out, for it’s in that journey that we discover just how big this God of ours truly is … yesterday, today, and forever.

Failures do not measure a man, or I would be as tall as Shaq! Remember to walk with God on a daily basis in good times, bad times and normal average days.

Product Spotlight: Dead Deer Walking

Dead Deer Walking is a company located in the Backwoods of Southern Maryland. The Product was developed not by accident but from trial and failure, with getting close to Whitetail Deer was the main goal without getting busted. The developer Joe Windsor used everything you find on today’s retail shops and stores, with these products he still found himself getting detected, when he did everything right from stand placement to hunting with the right wind direction. After becoming frustrated he started to do research and taking All Natural Materials where he finally came up with a Cover Scent that proved so effective that success in the woods became more and more. As time passed he started to introduce the Cover Scent to more and more Hunters who also found great success and made true believers in the name Dead Deer Walking All Natural Cover Scents. Joe introduced in 2011 to the Hunting World to Dead Deer Walking Cover Scents. 

 The Product starts with the harvesting of All Natural Materials that goes through a process to produce an effective Whitetail Hunting Cover Scent . They hear all the time from our customers that they have “Never gotten so close to Deer and how effective it works in the field”.  They stand behind the All Natural Cover Scent and the process we go through to make a quality product for the Hunter who works hard in the woods. So if your ready to make a switch and try THE All Natural Backwoods Cover Scent, then take the time and order yours today. They are outdoorsmen and Hunters at Dead Deer Walking, so your success is their success.

 I received some Dead Deer Walking in the mail, I was pretty excited about it. I took it out of the package, shook it up and smelled it, it smelled invisible. I can’t wait to use this stuff in the field, It will be another tool to make me and the rest of Team D.I.R.T. that films in the field successful. Most people want a name brand product that works, I love when a smaller company can hold up to the big boys and I think this product will do just that.

Dead Deer Walking is 100% all natural with no harmful chemicals for your skin to absorb, proven in the field, made in the USA and is inexpensive. What more can you ask for?

That’s what I thought. Go to the website , order some. You will not be sorry.

Here is a video for Dead Deer Walking

 

Thanks and Drive safe!

Mirror, mirror it can’t be me it’s everyone else’s fault

Soap Box time…

I had a conversasion with a person that was belly aching that they didn’t have enough money to make ends meet. She was wondering if my church could give her some food. We were interupted by a text on her new I phone, saying her kid is sick and needed to pick her up, so left work early, she jumped in her new 2012 car and drove off, not even to try to get her mom, sibling or friend to pick her kid up.

 In todays society, people are always looking for hand outs and the easy way out. People are fast to blame the government for the life the they lead, not looking at what they do have. Is it the is government fault that people are having kid at a early age and out of wedlock?

Didn’t go to college?

Can’t balance a check book?

People need to be held accountable for their own actions and learn from them. Man up people! You need to prepare and work for a goal, that is what a democracy does. Most people I have talk to about having a “bad life” are the ones that complain they can’t pay the bills and then when payday rolls around they want go run up a tab at the bar or “needs” something that they simply want to keep up with the Joneses.

I live in Flint Michigan, the auto industry spoiled our parents in the fact that they could get a really good paying  job with little or no skills and no education.Well those jobs are long gone now and we must earn our way to have a good life. The technology luxuries wasn’t there either, no cable bill, internet bill, cell phone bill, etc… The government isn’t here to support you, that’s socialism. Go back to school, look at all the luxuries you have and see what you can do without.

$400 cell phone?

$200 bar tab?

 $500 new car note?

 $100 jeans?

The list goes on and on… So next time you start to complain about your life remember what you have, is it what you want or something you need.

Heat vs beer, house payment or a mp3 player… tough choice isn’t ?

Ignorance has been turned up a notch!

This rocks me to the core.

I came across this animal rights group today and knew that we had to expose them and warn hunters and sportsmen about them. This group seems very militant and it’s easy to tell by their name and the propaganda they post on their website.

I received this via e mail and I am sorry I deleted who it is from to give them credit, but it is something every outdoorsmen should know about and be aware of.

They are as radical as they come, and seem like they are now killing humans in the first degree to get their warped point across.

The group is www.negotiationisover.net

“From the first glance of their website you can see that they are promoting violence to get their message across.

Here is their slogan: “Animal Liberation will be achieved when the detriments of animal abuse outweigh the benefits.” and a disclaimer we found on their site: “Disclaimer: The information on this site is for educational and entertainment purposes only. There is no intent, express or implied, to promote illegal activities. We assume no liability for the potential actions of any third party. All data compiled here has been gathered from, and is available through, independent public sources.”

They also have an actual guide book teaching other animal rights terrorists how to set electrical fires with timers on their website. And an image of a burning building: Click on this link to see: http://www.negotiationisover.net/2011/11/13/setting-fires-with-electrical-timers-an-earth-liberation-front-guide/

You can also see that they’re strongly supporting the animal rights terrorist group – The Animal Liberation Front.

The Founders of Negotiation Is Over are Camille Marino and Joshua Durden. Both big supporters of the Animal Liberation Front and Walter Bond who is from ALF (Animal Liberation Front). Walter Bond was arrested and is currently in jail in Utah for his terrorists activities. He tried to burn down a leather shop in Salt Lake City.

It’s disturbing to see groups form like this and promote violence to get their message across.”

This is VERY distrubing from a hunters stand point and being a American in general.  Please be active in the polictial process and defend YOUR rights as an American.

Game Time recipe tip:Venison for the average Joe

I love all aspects of hunting and fishing from start to finish including cooking what I harvest. I talk about my hobbies alot when we get on the subject of preparing the meat I hear alot of getting the game taste out. I have always wondered why people would what to do this. If I want something to taste like chicken I would buy chicken. I like the taste of wild game,I know some people don’t and when I am preparing a meal for them here are some tips I use and tips I heard work well to make the meal enjoying for everyone. Salt water takes alot of the blood out of the flesh thus cutting out alot of the taste. I let it soak for about 1/2 hour before I marinade. I do this this alot to venison and fresh water fish simply because I feel it taste better and seems to make the meat easier to marinade because the marinade will replace the blood. I have also heard that milk will make any meat taste palatable. The milk will break down the enzymes in the meat making it more tasteful for the average carnivore. A meat marinade comprising a fat and a protein, may comprise a fat and protein-containing dairy product. The salt water I suggested I imagene will rise the sodium level in the meat. I do prepare my meals differntly when people aren’t familier with the taste of wild game, I want them to enjoy it, most people have the bambi fear and think hamburgers and pork chops are grown on trees. The more “mild” taste your game is the more people are going to be more accepted to your hunting and fishing pastimes.

Z girl’s 1st television appearance

I beleive good things happen to good people that work hard, and do the right thing.

I met Carrie about 2 years ago at a campout for a forum called Talk Hunting. She drove all the way from Wisconsin to Michigan. I was helping with some of the events so I didn’t get a chance to talk to her as much as I wanted I could tell she has a lot of passion and desire for the outdoors and archery plus she is a metalhead just like me. We became friends and talk on the internet and text messages.

This weekend she will be on a local television show, I have a feeling this isn’t going to be her last either. Enough of me talking about it, follow the link below and see what she has to say.

My first official TV appearance; on Outdoor Wisconsin Even!!

Way to go Carrie! Let the blessings continue!

Here’s your sign…. \m/
