We’re Moving

© By Othmar Vohringer

It finally happens. The moment my wife and I have been anticipating for so long has arrived. Almost everything packed and we’re ready to move to our new house in Merritt. We’re looking so much forward to this. My wife and I are absolutely in love with Merritt. In fact many of our friends envy us. Merritt is a very beautiful little town set in a vast wilderness area surrounded by ranches, expansive forests and crystal clear rivers and creeks.

Merritt’s slogan says “Merritt fish a different lake everyday for as long you stay”. Merritt is located in Okanagan area, which is known as one of the best hunting areas in British Columbia. From that viewpoint Merritt is also the perfect location for the Othmar Vohringer SHS headquarters.

Tomorrow our Internet will be disconnected and ones we moved and everything is moved and set up in the new house (in about one to two weeks) we will be connected again. During this time there will be obviously no blog updates.

I am looking forward to come back and write about my fishing, scouting and hunting endeavors around Merritt.

Turkey Hunting Contest Winner.

© By Othmar Vohringer

On the Wild Turkey Fever blog we had a contest and yesterday (closing date) a nifty little computer program has chosen the winner.

I am glad that I didn’t have to choose a contest winner. I would have had a real hard time to pick one. All the entries where great to read, each of the contestants told a personal turkey hunting story to which I could relate too from my own hunting adventures.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody that took part in the contest I enjoyed reading them. Congratulations to the winner of the Heirloom Double Barrel turkey call. I know from field tests that this call will be of great help in bringing that big tome within shooting range of her gun.

The contest winner story is of a husband convincing his lovely wife to go turkey hunting with him. The day they went it rained hard and then a few other things happened that almost spoiled the hunt, but the husband was determined to find a gobbler for his wife to shoot. …Well why don’t you go and read the story of Sandy’s Rainy Day Gobbler. While you are at Wild Turkey Fever perhaps you feel like stopping in and congratulate Sandy too, I am sure she appreciates it very much.
