We have just made it through another year of winter and are approaching spring & summer at what seems to be a blistering pace. This last week’s warmer temperatures put some much needed spring cleaning and boat maintenance in overdrive for many of my colleagues in anticipation for the upcoming fishing season up north. I am getting the sense that many of us need a change of pace or the right medicine for the cabin fever we have experienced over the last three to four months.

Back in the day…

With this in mind I have found myself reflecting on the good ole’ days when dad was putting the snow-blower back in the shed and pulling out the 14ft deep V Crestliner and the feeling that I had knowing that is was just a matter of time before I was putting a leach or night crawler on a lindy rig targeting some of the best walleye fishing a kid could ask for.

Today…

Now with kids of my own and the fast pace world we live in, it seems harder and harder to get the boat prepped & rods rigged, and time away that truly feels like a change of pace instead of just more work, for maybe 6 hours of being on the water over a weekend. That’s where we can help. Worldwide Trophy Adventures has some of the best an affordable options for you to leave the work behind and go fishing with one of our outfitters where lodging, meals and guides are all included giving you the time you truly need to decompress and enjoy some much needed time on the water. Get a group of buddies together or make plans with the family and give us a call today where our professional consultants will assist you in finding the right trip to cure your cabin fever.

Europe Awaits! Hosted Hunting + A European Vacation

I have been hunting Europe for a little over 10 years now, but there are so many countries and so much game that I feel like it could take another 20 years to see and do everything I want to do. That’s part of what makes Europe so exciting. It truly feels endless. Europe has become incredibly popular for several reasons. First, as an international hunting destination, it is easily accessible, with numerous flights available and no 15-hour, long-haul flights required from the U.S. and North America. Second, the hunts are almost always 100% successful because game management is top-notch and populations are extremely healthy. Third, hunts are relatively short, usually three to five days. Hunts lend themselves perfectly to adding extra vacation time, bringing non-hunters, and enjoying a truly memorable overall trip.

I’ve had the privilege of running WTA-hosted trips designed specifically for couples for the past three years, and we will continue this program well into the future, due to its overwhelming popularity. These trips are structured with a primary hunt alongside a dedicated non-hunter program for observers who prefer not to spend time in the field. Some of these activities have included spa days, shopping excursions, guided sightseeing tours, visits to olive oil operations or wineries, and more. Of course, non-hunters are always welcome to join the hunters in the field if they’d like.

On a personal level, my wife absolutely loves these trips, and I wouldn’t think of traveling to Europe without her. On several occasions when I’ve finished my hunt early, I’ve joined the non-hunters on their excursions and had an absolute blast. We also typically add a couple of days at the beginning of the trip to explore a city or region we haven’t visited before, which helps us adjust to the time change before the hunt begins.

In addition to the hunting, the scenery, the accommodations, and the food are always top-shelf. ).push(arguments)}; h._hjSettings={hjid:1425549,hjsv:6}; a=o.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]; r=o.createElement('script');r.async=1; r.src=t+h._hjSettings.hjid+j+h._hjSettings.hjsv; a.appendChild(r); })(window,document,'https://static.hotjar.com/c/hotjar-','.js?sv='); */ jQuery(function($) { $(function() { let isMobile = window.matchMedia("only screen and (max-width: 767px)").matches; if (!isMobile) { $('#pgpContent').on('click', '.tripCard a', function(){ $(this).attr('target', '_blank').attr('rel','noopener'); }); } }); });
