I just recently recieved my camo dipped camera arm back from H20 Graphix, they have over a hundred different camo patterns to choose from, I had no idea which one to choose but finally I decided on Pattern 100 and love the way it turned out, but would really like to get everybodys opinions! Here's the link to the available patterns: http://www.h2ographx.com/patterns.php?ptrn=camo Thanks, Brandon Vileta Camo Camera Arm Photo http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30971664&l=6b7049008a&id=1178700081

Hoping all is well. Prayers sent.

He is so precious and looks like a little man!! Congrats and enjoy him, you think a month has flown by, just wait for 21 years.... Lisa

That IS strange. If you do call, make sure you use *67 before you dial him if using a cell phone. That will block your number from showing up. Lisa

Our thoughts and prayers are with your dad, you and your family! Lisa

Tyler just informed me that Jeremy will be bringing the footage of the recovery however!! So at least there is some footage from your hunt! We are thrilled for you Alan!! Way to go!! We will have to start calling you "Dead-eye"! Lisa

They had an awesome time and SUCCESS!!!! Of course, they picked a brutally cold day here in Iowa.... Here is a pic and Alan's words off of facebook. HCO would like to give a special thanks to Jeremy Ruddick and Tyler Woelk for making Alan's dream come true!! These two fine men give their time unselfishly year round and love to share their passions of the outdoors with those that haven't had the opportunities. HCO is beyond proud and extremely grateful to have Jeremy and Tyler as representatives!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! Alan's words...."big buck buck down antler has shed off..perfect shot by me 150 yard shot took out both lungs..what an awesome hunt i had thank you to honeycreekoutdoors.com..thank you lisa,tyler and jeremy for doing this for me..ty jeremy and tyler for an awesome hunt even if it was 40 below...i had fun esp when them 40 to 50 ran 150 yards from us.... what a rush guys...." http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt267/HCOTeam/alansbuck.jpg Edited to add. It was too cold for the camera equipment to work, so unfortunately they were not able to get footage of the hunt...sorry about that Alan. Lisa

Jeremy and Tyler are looking so forward to it too!! Dress warm you guys and have FUN!!!

ADORABLE!!!! Thanks for sharing Kyle!!

Congrats to the both of you!!! And welcome to the world, Breylen!! Lisa

Merry Christmas to you too and everyone else at Realtree! God Bless, From all of us at HCO

Hopefully good news for us...they think our storm is going to go more North!! We still will get some ice and snow but nothing like they had projected earlier. I hope....of course this IS Iowa and it changes from moment to moment. Enjoy a white Christmas, take pics of Cash in it!! And get plenty of batteries, candles, milk and bread...LOL Lisa

You bring up a lot of interesting points MoorsevilleRocket. Sounds as though you have been fortunate to have people in your life to take you hunting or at least give you direction, no matter the circumstance. Everyone is handed a different path...some may be similar to yours and some may be polar opposite. Not everyone that is in this "Industry" is out for themselves. Not everyone is out there to exploit for the almighty dollar. Some want to share a love, a passion, that was once shared or introduced to them at one point in their life. The appreciation of wildlife, establishing a respect, a certain sense of grounding comes with these experiences to those that are open to them. I look at it this way - Nothing to loose and everything to gain when sharing a love for the outdoors. It's not what you have, it's what you do with it that counts. Respectfully, Lisa

Although I would normally agree with going through the proper channels, ie; teacher first, then principle. In this instance I hesitate. If it were the case that the child were experiencing some emotional concerns such as anxiety or if his/her needs weren't being addressed, then yes, going directly to the teacher should be done first. After all, the teacher and the parent are the ones that spend the majority of the child's growing years with them. Although this is not the teachers fault, parental rights have been stripped from public schools, therefore, concerns about personal opinion being indoctrinated needs to be voiced to the principle. The principle is the "manager" of that school. Their job is to make sure that conduct by both the student and teacher are acceptable, period. The principle makes daily, if not hourly rounds to observe the classrooms and the halls. Going to the principle and addressing this concern will enable the principle to have a "heads up" to a possible problem. A meeting between a principle and a parent should be confidential and I would stress that issue. If the teacher is new, then the principle will be able to help better guide said teacher. That is their job after all. Teachers "talk" among themselves. They form opinions on personalities, child and parent. Not saying that principles don't, but they are set by a much more strict policy given their responsibilities. (I believe the OP had mentioned about possible recourse by the teacher.) Going in and ranting will always get one labeled, but addressing concerns in a civil manner and expressing what is acceptable and expected is our right as a parent and should be exercised. Lisa

Great photos!

Swamphunter, I would go directly to the principle and explain to him what has taken place then ask for a meeting between the three of you. This teacher is out line, period. At that age children are very impressionable and the teachers actions is intolerable, not to mention, brainwashing. If you are not satisfied by the outcome then I would go to the school board. Good luck! Lisa

Good luck Tim! Lisa

Sounds like the hassle was worth it though..! Hoping a better trip back! Lisa

Wow! That IS a great find! Lisa
