| Dear Sam and Sonya:
Thanks again for the great time at the Lodge. I enjoyed the hunt but really enjoyed the time we spent together. As you know I have limited access to hunting areas like so many people. My time is also limited due to family and business responsibilities. I did not fully recognize the value you offer until I went through my schedules for past few years. Please allow me to explain the cost of my "free hunting". I spent on average 60 hours away from my family and office preparing for hunting over the course of the year. This included time visiting the property owners, scouting, stand maintenance etc…. It does not include the cost of gasoline, gun maintenance and shotgun shells. I am also leaving out the scheduled vacation time used for the week of shotgun season. The hunt packages you have put together are a bargain compared to what I have been doing. The value is in both time and money. The hunting experiences I have had at Oak Ridge are a combination of the best experiences of my free hunting without the work. Thanks again for the great memories. Best regards, Jack Malarik Eastlake, OH |
