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!

Come Visit Us at the KIX RV
The fair is in high gear and the weather is awesome! We'll be out there from 3 p.m. until the concert at 7:00 with another awesome deer to be scored for prize packages. Thanks to everyone who scored the last one. You can see the official score and the winner of the contest here. The winner was closer than we ever thought anyone would get, so the next one will be tougher than the last! It's r
Trail Cams, Fair Time and Archery Shoots
Hello all! The fair is here, and the weather has dipped down into the low 90s. I'm going to break out the parka! I hope everyone is enjoying the outdoors while they can. Here's a rundown of events going on this week.
Crappie, Deer and Prizes for Everyone
The heat is still on, but it's almost fair time, so we're all used to it by now. As for the fishing, we're still catching crappie. My best luck has been at 25-30 feet of water, and 18-20 feet deep with a tip jig with minnow. As sun the sun goes up, move to the shady side of the trees. After about 10:00, go home and cool down, because it seems to shut down after that.
Huntin’ Harry’s Event Calendar: Go Catch Some Crappie
There's a lot going on this week, so let's get right to it! First, the Crappie are biting in three to six feet of water on the flats, and 25 - 30 feet of water on channels and bluffs. Make sure you've got your jig tip with minnow. Daylight until about 10:00 a.m. is the best time to find them, but they seem to shut down after that.
Beat the Heat, Fish With a Veteran and Enjoy a Night at the Races
It's hot outside, and Huntin' and Fishin with Harry is all about the outdoors. Be careful with that high heat index, and make sure you stay hydrated. That means WATER. Same goes for your pets, they can't tell when they're to hot, so take care of them.
Sedalia Archers Qualify for Missouri State Championships
Well, Father's Day has come and gone, and I hope everyone's was as good as mine. We shot in another 3D shoot this week. It was the ASA Qualifier to qualify for the Missouri State Championships. Brandon Scott of Sedalia took first place, and I was fortunate enough to take second in the Hunter Class, qualifying for the state shoot.
Thank All the Dads This Father’s Day
As I spoke about last week, the archery shoot for MissouriWhitetails.com was great! Very hot, but lots of family fun. At five years old, Kole Kenyon received his first archery medal. You should have seen the smile not only on Kole's face, but on everyone in our group, especially his dad.
Father's Day is coming up this weekend, so make sure you take time to thank your dad, step dad, grandfat

My wife has been shooting archery regularly for for the past month, and shot her first 3D archery shoot this last Sunday in Cole Camp. She shot very well, and placed in the top five in her division. She made me very proud, and she loved it!
