Guys, I want to thank you for the great time you showed Coach Fulmer, Josh his son-in-law and Thunder Thornton this weekend at TRIV! I was a little concerned with the warm weather and Randy Neely being off work,that it might be a bust for his first (but for sure they said)visit to TRIV. With both of these impeding factors, they had a great time!!!! more »

Last weekend turned out to be another great hunt for the girls and Michelle! The sporting clays shooting over the off season paid off for the girls. Same East Rayburn levee as last year but this time they took no prisoners. Bishop girls: 30 Ducks: 0 Thanks to Strick for all his help to make the trip a great one for the girls. And of course, "Rat Dog" Sophie was there for every shot! more »

Not TRIV, but we had a great opening day in East TN last month on the woodies and teal! I've been hunting ducks for 21 years and have NEVER killed a blue wing teal!!!! Coach Fulmer, Madi, Brittany and myself (and Sadie) got into them pretty good opening morning last month!

Not only did the Easter Bunny leave eggs for us but Sadie left us with 11 puppies! We only have a black male left and wanted to make sure nobody else in TRIV wanted him! Call me if you have any questions, they will be ready to go home Memorial Day. 865 661-9641

Brought the clan back for one last hunt this past weekend! What was supposed to be a warmer/sunny Saturday turned out to be cloudy/strong winds and temps in the mid 30's but couldn't keep the girls in the clubhouse! After 3 trips on the 4-wheeler (3 daughters, a wife, 2 dogs, 4 mojo's and 2 dozen full bodies) to the SE levee in East Rayburn things picked up very quickly! more »

Brittany my 11 year old killed her first duck (hen mallard) during Christmas break with the help of "Thunder"! Since that shot, Brittany has not missed one duck that she shot at, if you don't believe her just ask her! The memories continue!
ps: please note Mr. Brantley is awake in the picture!

My 11 year old Brittany killed her first mallard with the help of "Thunder Dan"!

Looks like the states north of us are going to get below freezing highs starting Wednesday??? As I stated in an earlier blog, "if weathermen worked on commission, they would be broke"! Looking forward to a strong close to our season at TRIV! Good luck to all.
