2008 Michigan Hudalla Hog Slam
  May 01, 2008:

 

Last month Hudalla Sales Rep Chad Bailey took a few of his Michigan dealers on a hog hunt allowing them to
field test a few of our manufacturer’s products. The guys were testing the new Undertaker broadhead from
Trophy Ridge, the new Roscoby Riser Cam and bows from Bear Archery including the Game Over, Lights Out
and the Truth II. Everyone had a great time and we would like to share with you some of their comments and
reactions from the day.

Chad,

Now that our pig hunt is behind us, I'd like to thank you, along with Hudalla & Associates for giving me the opportunity to take part in the event. I had a truly great time. Be sure to thank Mr. Hudalla for me.

If the goal was to instill confidence in the Undertaker broadhead, you've definitely succeeded in that regard. It's a Bear of a broadhead and put them pigs Lights Out... and That's the Truth, too. In short, I believe the Undertaker will be OVERtaking residence in my quiver this year... It's a Done Deal! I was truly impressed!!!!!!

Thanks again,

Don Beaver

Chad-
Just wanted to say thanks for the opportunity to go on the hog hunt with you and the other guys. I had a great time and enjoyed testing out some of the new products. It was obviously the first hunting trip for me with the Bear Truth II. I had been looking at getting a new bow, so going on this hunt helped me make a quick decision on what to get and I have been really excited about how fast and accurate this bow shoots. I was also thoroughly impressed with the new Undertaker broadhead. We had complete pass throughs on everyone's hogs except for mine, and some of the guys weren't even shooting that much weight. The entrance holes were huge, bloodtrails awesome and every one of the broadheads survived complete, intact, no bent or broken blades, and could have been shot again. That says a lot on animals as tough as a hog. I also really enjoyed trying out the Roscoby Riser Cam. I have watched the video a few times now and have shown several customers already that will surely purchase them once we receive them. Probably would have even been better video if we all had a little more experience with it and remembered we were filming, and had less footage of grass and twigs as we walked up to the downed game. All that seemed to be forgotten in the excitement of it all. But it was great being able to go back and review the shot, and how everything transpired. I can just imagine how fun and helpful this will be from up in the deer stand and after the shot.

Thanks,

Dear, Chad & Bruce
I wanted to take the time to thank both of you for inviting me on the Hog Hunt last week. I had a super time. It was a great opportunity for me to hunt with some of the other dealers in Michigan and establish a relationship in a environment we all enjoy. I always like to take advantage of establishing friendships with other dealers. It makes what we do so much easier when we all get along. I know I may not be as large of a dealer for you guys as some of the others that went, but make no
mistake, I do what I can with Hudalla Associates.

As far as product testing, I was very pleased with the performance of a few Bear/Trophy Ridge products. The bow I chose for the Hog Hunt was the "Lights Out". Figuring this would be a hot selling hunting bow, I wanted to try it out myself. This bow met my expectations for sure which is sometimes hard to do! The right combination was made with the "Undertaker" broadhead. My shot resulted in a complete pass through, with an unmistakable blood trail. After observing all the entry holes on the rest of the hogs, I'm even more convinced that this head will open every time without fail! Not to mention the accuracy of this thing, Unbelievable! Finally, the RiserCam. I wish I had more time before the hunt to play with this thing. It will take some practice, but this thing rocks! I can't wait for this fall! Anyway, thanks again to Hudalla and Chad for this great experience. I do appreciate it very much.

Chad,
Thank you Bear Archery and Hudalla Associates for the opportunity to go hog hunting. On this hunt I had the chance to test the new Undertaker broadheads. They were very impressive!! The entrance and exit holes were huge!!! My new 70 # Done Deal put the Undertaker Taker clean through my hog like hot butter. Dropping it within 10 yards. Impressive!

Sincerely

Chad,
What an awesome experience. I was thouroughly impressed with the new Bear Bows as well as the new Undertaker Broadheads. I couldn't believe how quiet the bows were. As Tom our guide said "before we arrived there he had only seen (one or two) one arrow kills Pig kills." He saw at least 5 the day we were there. I was amazed at the accuracy and devestation of that broadhead. Capturing our moment with the riser cam was really cool as well. The footage clarity video and audio wise surprised me. Thanks again for the opportunity. Awesome Hunt with Awesome Gear. My family will be eating Pork for a while.

Chad,

I just wanted to let you know how much fun the hog hunt was with the Bear Dealers. I cannot say that I have ever seen a broadhead leave such big of holes and fly as accurate as the new Undertaker broadhead. Having never shot the broadhead before and only having my bow sighted in with field tips, I was amazed that I was dead on at any yardage. Also, we shot seven hogs and never had one blade break or broadhead malfunction - pretty cool! Almost every one of us got complete pass through, not many expendables are capable of performing like these new Undertakers do. It was an added bonus to finally shoot an animal with my new Truth 2, what a great bow. Its events like these that show that we really are lucky to be representing quality companies like we do. Tell Bruce and the rest of the Hudalla gang that I appreciate them including me on this hunt!!

The New 2008 products from Bear & Trophy Ridge and Roscoby RiserCam, worked above and beyond all of my Michigan Dealers Expectations!!! All of my dealers including myself were blown away by the performance of all of the products that we used. With the New Trophy Ridge Rocket UNDERTAKER Broadhead, we all had flawless broadhead performances!!! Every head opened had huge entry and exit holes, NOT one broken or bent blade! Each of the Undertaker heads could have been shot again and again! Each Undertaker broadhead also flew with “TRUE” field Point precision and accuracy. The New 2008 Bear Bows also preformed awesome! Some comments that I heard all day from my dealers on the new Bear Bows were…”Very Quiet, Smooth.. Nice draw, Great energy, Very Accurate, Outstanding performance for the price!” The New RiserCam got us some great footage. My Dealers liked the simplicity of use, the video excellence along with the functionality as a real stabilizer. What a great first person bow view of the heart pounding action of the hunt!

“THANKS HUDALLA ASSOCIATES FOR MAKING THIS HUNT POSSIBLE!”
