I went to school in Green Ridge, moved to Nixa my junior year and graduated from there in 1983. I love hunting and fishing, and I fished professionally for bass and crappie for eight years. I started shooting archery for Bowhunters Pro Shop in the 80s and 90s, and moved back to Sedalia in 1993. I started MoKids Outdoors in 2004 to get kids more involved with outdoor activities. I've been hosting the Huntin' and Fishin' with Harry show for six years, and I love being back in central Missouri. I have three sons, a wife and a grandson. Thanks for checkin' me out!

Celebrate Memorial Day Weekend at Flag Retirement Ceremony at Centennial Park
Right off the bat, our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the tornado in Moore, Okla. and anyone who sustained any damage from the weather in our Area. Dukes & Boots will be taking donations for the Moore victims of the deadly F-5 tornado. Please donate, no donation is to small. Remember, this is going to be a crazy weather season and it's going to get worse, so be prepared
State Fair Archery Shoot, Honor Flight Radiothon and Fishin’ For a Cure Recap
I hope everyone had a great weekend last week and that all of the moms had an even greater Mother's Day. We had our kids Fishin' for a Cure that weekend at Liberty Park, and it was awesome. It was packed with over 100 kids and lots of families with everyone enjoying the outdoor activities...
Join Us at Fishing for a Cure and Send Us Your Fishing Stories
Okay, the snow in May was enough. I've never hunted turkeys in snow like that. What fun it was, 33 degree cold, wet, windy and on the last week of turkey season. One good thing about the weather is that it seems to be getting better and starting to get back to normal. Of course, this is Missouri, so you will have to "Show-Me."
MoKids Outdoors Hosting “Fishin’ For a Cure” at Liberty Park Next Weekend
Okay, I'm not going to give the weather any more chances. It was 80. Then it was in the 30s. I'm going to boycott the weather, because when the shorts come out, they stay out.
The last week of turkey season was a little tough, for me anyway. Crappie are being caught and people are finding mushrooms. The time is upon us and that makes me happy happy happy.
Thanks for Making our Youth and Wounded Warrior Hunts Successful
Thanks to everybody, from the landowners who allow us to hunt on their land to everyone who attended out Whitetails Unlimited Banquet and those who sponsor our events. Our youth weekend was a great success, with five out of the six kids getting their first turkeys and three out of the four Wounded Warriors getting their birds last weekend.
Thunder Chickens, Crappie Fishin’ and Fishing for a Cure
What can I say? I give up on this weather. What do you do when you get up on the first weekend of turkey season and it's 35 degrees outside? Well, you put on more clothes, grab your swamp boots and maybe a boat to get to that field those thunder chickens have been strutting in. It's going to be fun.
Youth Turkey Huntin’, Crappie Fishin’ and Wounded Warriors Hunt
I've started my blog posts with the weather every day for the last two months. I thought the crazy weather changes were over and done with. I can deal with a 15-20 degree temperature change, this IS Missouri. But come on, from the 70s to the 30s? This is just ridiculous.
Fishin’ Reports and Turkey Season for Youth
The weather is looking up and it seems like the weather roller coaster is over. I hope they shut it down. Well, let's start with some fishin'. Where are they catching them? In the water. No really, they are.
Easter Outdoor Activities
Well, the Easter Bunny is on his way, the snow is gone for now. I heard we could have two more snow storms, and one of them could be a whopper. I hope not, because if it snows next week, we'll have to hunt turkeys in snow camo and snow shoes. That won't be fun, so let's pray for no snow.
