Welcome to HuntTheHeartland.com
I wanted to take a moment and update everyone on the status of this site. Lately, you may have noticed that I’ve seemed to fall off the face of the earth and that there hasn’t really been any new content on the site. Well, you’re right….I did fall off the face of the earth…..sort of.
In October of 2007, my wife and I found out that we were expecting our second child. Shortly after that, we had an ultrasound appointment to have everything checked out (normal procedure). To our surprise, we were told that we weren’t having 1 baby, but 2….Identical twins to be exact. Of course we were shocked and a little nervous…but we were (and still are) very excited. Curious to know how that happened, I was told that identical twins are simply a random occurrence. About 1 in 250 live births results in identical twins. I guess you could say we won the lottery….without all of the money. Our excitement, however, was tempered a little when the doctor explained that identical twins exposed my wife to risk factors that could complicate the pregnancy. Without sharing too much info, that basically meant that she’s been having weekly doctor visits to keep an eye on her and the babies….and she has to take it easy at home to keep from overdoing it. As a result, my free time has been severely diminished because I have to pick up the slack at home by doing housework and other things so that she doesn’t have to. In short, I no longer have any free time. What free time I do have is spent with my 3 year old daughter.
Anyway, this website has always been something that I’ve tried to do on my own and in my spare time. Being passionate about hunting and technology, I felt it was a good way for me to enjoy the two. But, with these new developments in my personal life, I’m afraid that I’m not going to have time to devote to the site for a couple of months (and as you’ve noticed, I haven’t had time over the last few months to keep up with it either). I hope to revive things later on when my personal life settles down.
There have been lots of folks who have helped me with this site. Folks like M.D. and Julie Johnson, the Avery Outdoors Pro-Staff, and everyone else. The list of people is too long to address here. In any case, thanks to all of you for helping me with this endeavor. I’ve not only learned a lot, I’ve also gained some great friendships.
So, what does the future hold? Well, my plan is to leave the site up as it is for now. I probably won’t have time to add any new articles for a while, but as time permits, I’m going to re-visit the site which may include a redesign and a whole new (hopefully more popular) approach to delivering hunting related content to you (the user).
Thanks again, and if anyone wants to contact me, you can use the contact form on the top of this page. Take care, and happy hunting!!!
