Opening Argument

Hello All.

As you may see in many other blogs, the writer always starts the blog with stating this is his first blog. Well in order to separate myself from the rest of those blog writers, I thought I would do something different. I'm still thinking...

In the Life of Being Legendary, I thought I would try to let you in to my world of working in the family business. At certain points, I may will dive into some personal activities, as we all know people need the fuel for the water cooler.

People are always asking (or if they are not asking they are thinking), what do you do? Some may think differently from others. In hopes to educate, entertain, and enlighten you, I thought I would start up a blog. I have always wanted to start up a blog, but I guess I kept putting it off.

I will start by giving a little background of the company I work for. Legendary Whitetails is a direct to consumer internet retailer, catalog, and retail operation. Legendary (which we like to go as), has been operational since 1998 when people received a little tri-fold pamphlet with about a dozen products on it. 11 years later, you will now see our 48 page catalog w/ over 450 products.

How did this all start? Larry Huffman, founder(my grandfather)started collecting world class deer mounts. He was going around buying the biggest antlers people have shot for a personal collection. His goal with this collection was to have a museum of the all the biggest deer in the world. He wanted to give everyone a chance to see just how wonderful the sport of Whitetail Hunting is. As time went by, he became renowned for appraising deer antlers. This means that after someone had shot a big buck, they would call him up and for a small fee he would tell you how much they were worth.

To give you an idea of what the Legendary Whitetails Collection was about, here is a short Video



After establishing his collection, he started traveling around the United Stated showing off what he called the "Legendary Whitetails Collection". During these shows people were going crazy because they had never seen anything like this. The response was out of this world. During this time, people wanted something to remember the Whitetails by. So, photos were made with the story of how the buck was killed on the back. It then migrated into caps and t-shirts. Everything seems to be working, so he decided to take it up a level.
