Russ, Teresa, Gene, & Bernie,

     I just wanted to start out by saying thank you all for the experience of a lifetime. Smokehouse outfitters is truly a down home world class hunting operation. I started out this trip by thinking that it would be a once in a lifetime thing, but after the completion of this trip I can guarantee that I will return to Smokehouse any and every time I have the opportunity. You guys have shown my father, brother, and myself the true meaning of having a GOOD TIME!!!! The fact that you all treated us as friends and not just as customers made the experience the best it could possibly be. It's great that we all harvested nice gators, but I can guarantee you that it is the experience of the hunt,that will keep me coming back for many years to come. Thank you guys again and I look forward to chasing one of those big bad tuskers real soon.
