Thanks for dropping by and visiting our website. There is no better place when it comes to hunting than American Outdoors in Dexter, Missouri! Come see us, and as always, "We appreciate your business".

It is not, for most of us, essential for survival. It is the time, memories, and people. The time God has given us to enjoy with people we love, and be in ah of his handy work. It is self-evident that what he has provided for us to use and enjoy did not happen by accident. So take care of it. Appreciate it. And I hope each and every time you look around, realizing how amazing it really is, it will bring a tear to your eye and a grateful attitude. It is not about a competition for the biggest or the most. It is much more than that.

The next time you get an itchy trigger, stop and just watch that animal. Maybe wait for another day. It is not just about killing. Watch how that buck acts and moves, or watch those mallards cup up and sit in the decoys. Or listen to the turkey drum and drag his wings over the ground. Listen to the whistle of the wings at daylight. You may not need to shoot, you fooled 'em. But when that special moment happens, and he is in so close you can see his eye shine, and it meets your goal , that one you want to remember and share, take him. Make the shot count. One clean shot. Whether you miss or you hit the mark, remember. Thank the folks that taught you or introduced you to the outdoors, and pray to the one that made it possible. Until you get to that point, you are truly missing out on the greatest trophy of all. It will humble you. He is truly awesome. Keep hunting and fishing and keep it in perspective. 1. God 2. Family .........

Genesis 27:3  Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out into the field and hunt game for me.

Psalm 127:3-5  Behold, children are a heritage of the lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward.  Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of ones youth.  Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but will speak wtih their enemies in the gate.
