Mother Nature sure wreaked havoc on 2016 opening day of turkey season in the Catskill Mountains. On this chilly, wet, May 1^st, Fifield Outfitter’s guest, Chris, was affixed with determination to bag a bird. Soaked clothes and all, he put in a long, hard day all the way up to the last minute of legal hunting hours. He displayed true dedication to the sport of turkey hunting as he didn’t quit as the weather got worse. Only a lone hen was observed, but big Tom and his brother, Jake, will surely come out to play when the weather improves. On a side note, a lot of healthy deer were seen during this hunt.

It was a pleasure to have Greg and his two sons Sean and Scott hunting with Fifield Outfitters. Although no one harvested anything during this weekend rifle hunt, some fond family memories were made that will last a lifetime. We look forward to seeing them back in October 2016 for their bow hunt. 🙂

Fifield Outfitters had the privilege of hosting Brandon for a weekend bow hunt. He is a true outdoor sportsman filled with enthusiasm and patience as deer were seen, but no shooter bucks came in. We look forward to many more outings with Brandon trying to put that trophy white-tail on his wall. This beautiful photo was taken by Brandon at one of our stands.

Fifield Outfitters was truly honored to have Lieutenant Colonel Carter L. Price, a true American hero, join them this weekend on a bow hunt. This extremely humble, dedicated, and brave soldier has earned both a Silver and Bronze Star for Valor. Joining him was his supportive, caring, and kind wife Tricia. Carter saw a lot of deer, but he was after a bear, which didn’t end up coming in the days he was here. Thank you Carter for your service to our country! God Bless You Both!
