Times are tough! Jobs and homes are being lost at an alarming rate, people are stressed to the point of imploding and exploding, babies are crying in the dead of night, and what do I do about it all? I increase the workload here at Native Hunt Enterprises Inc. and start up a blog for the company!

I have been called crazy before and to be honest, that is something which I have gotten used to over the years and actually would be surprised, and maybe a little concerned if I did not get called by the same name again during this go around as well.

Entrepreneurs like me are always venturing into uncharted territories, and concerning myself, getting into the business end of blogging is no exception to this rule.

I have been following and commenting upon most all of your blogs whom currently are reading this for quite some time now, and I have enjoyed every minute of the experience. And quite frankly, most all of “you” are directly responsible for the decision to finally “Jump into the fire” so to speak, and just go ahead and do it! Maybe, you just simply wanted to get me outta’ your hair huh?  L.O.L.

Although, I must admit that I do have some of my cognizant faculties still remaining intact (somewhat) and I am smart enough to have employed the services of my very good friend and confidant Mr. Phillip Loughlin from over at the famously known Hog Blog to help with running and maintaining the Native Hunt Blog, and to have him also keep “yours truly” in check, and keep me from pissing too many people off with (as you all know too well) my sometimes very frank way of making a statement. I truly can’t thank you enough Phillip for agreeing to come aboard and help us steer this “Ice Breaker”  through these treacherous waters for us!

At  N.H.E. Inc.’s Monday morning meetings we kicked the idea around for about a year and I don’t have to tell any of you, because you all know too very well, that the arduous task which lay ahead of me by starting and sustaining a blog site, was quite intimidating to say the least. But, as an individual who enjoys a good challenge (which is what Ms. Elizabeth over at Deer Passion blog did a few months back when she spurred me into action to start one myself. I quite candidly could not resist the temptation to do so for the company, and besides, I do have a few things to say about the Hunting / Fishing industry which may be interesting to some of you. I also thoroughly enjoy the mentally stimulating debates which sometimes can arise from the comment’s section of an outdoor site.  Albert over at The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles and also Holly’s NorCal Cazadora site spring immediately to mind, and without a doubt, I always walk away from these debates as a more enlightened individual.

I must also mention Dayne Shuda from over at the Hunting Business Marketing site as a consistent source of valuable information and inspiration! Even the anti-hunters comments (if they are well thought out and not inflammatory) will challenge me to think more deeply about the subject matter, and to sometimes view another’s philosophies with a completely different perspective.

I do hope that you will have lots of fun here, enjoy the new Native Hunt Blog,  and will come visit us frequently and also that you will comment often, as all thoughtful prose and debate will be most welcome here upon this site.

Thank you all so very much from the depths of my heart for allowing me privileged access into this wonderful, exciting and information sharing world of yours called without ambiguity: The Blogosphere.

Sincerely,

T. Michael Riddle
