New Website Launched
© By Othmar Vohringer
Some of my readers and fellow bloggers may have started to wonder about my lack of posting and answering comments made on my blogs.
I am still here and I haven’t abandoned my blogs or my blogging friends. It’s just that over the past few weeks I have been incredibly busy. The hunting season comes to a close on December 10 and I still have not connected with the buck I want. If I didn’t hunt I have been sitting in the office planning for next year and get things rolling in the right direction.
The lion share of the time, however, was spent on getting my website finally ready to be launched. I started the basic design two years ago but each time I looked at it I didn’t like something and changed it. Then in the last two months I completely redesigned everything from the ground up and today I am pleased to announce that OthmarVohringer.comhas been successfully launched. There are still a few minor changes and some editing to be made but the bulk of it up and running.
At this point it is appropriate to say a big thank you to my wife for putting up with my frustrations – me and modern technology do not go along well -, for her continues artistic input, ideas and inspiration but also for the many hours spent editing and proofreading all the text that still continuous to this day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, without you this website never have turned out the way I envisioned it.
The website will provide information of my many services to the hunting industry. Naturally there is also a lot of information for hunters too in form of articles, tips, product reviews and much more. I believe with OthmarVohringer.com I have created a well-rounded information source for everybody within our large hunting community.
Take a minute or two and check the website and let me know what you think. I also welcome any suggestions you may have. If you would like to help me in spreading the news about the website please feel free to go to “Press Releases” and download the official media release and a picture of your choice, or link back to this article on your blogs. Thank you!

We’re Moving
© By Othmar Vohringer
It finally happens. The moment my wife and I have been anticipating for so long has arrived. Almost everything packed and we’re ready to move to our new house in Merritt. We’re looking so much forward to this. My wife and I are absolutely in love with Merritt. In fact many of our friends envy us. Merritt is a very beautiful little town set in a vast wilderness area surrounded by ranches, expansive forests and crystal clear rivers and creeks.
Merritt’s slogan says “Merritt fish a different lake everyday for as long as you stay”. Merritt is located in Okanagan area, which is known as one of the best hunting areas in British Columbia. From that viewpoint Merritt is also the perfect location for the Othmar Vohringer SHS headquarters.
Tomorrow our Internet will be disconnected and ones we moved and everything is moved and set up in the new house (in about one to two weeks) we will be connected again. During this time there will be obviously no blog updates.

Gone Hunting
This is a short notice to let my readers know that as from tomorrow I will not be writing on this blog. I am going on a weeklong wilderness hunt where there are no cell phone reception and Internet. We are miles away from any civilization there will be just nature, wildlife and us.
I hope that by my return I will be able to report hunting success. One thing is for sure, however this hunt may turn out, I will have some stories to write about and pictures to show of a pristine natural setting.
In the meantime you can go over to Outdoors with Othmar Vohringer and read the story of how I became a Bowhunter.

SHS Hunting Chat Contest 2006-2007
Take part in the SHS Hunting Chat Forum Contest and WIN!
I am proud to announce that we hold our very first forum members contest. The contest topic is, Hunting, Fishing or Outdoor Adventure. The idea is simple, write a story which can be true, fiction or humorous, as long it has to do with hunting and, or fishing. The contest begins on November 01. 2001 and ends midnight on November 30. 2006.
Here are some suggestions what you can write about. Your first hunt, a special memory connected with hunting or fishing, a humorous camp fire tale, what it is like to live with a hunter (if you are the non hunting spouse of a hunter). Or write about the biggest buck the longest fish you harvested. An exiting trip or a trip where Murphy’s Law was a constant companion and many more subjects, what ever you think is worth telling others about.
Every registered member of the SHS forum in entitled to take part in this contest. This is a good time to tell your friends and family about this contest too, because, in addition every new member registering between November 01. 2006 and November 29. 2006 is also eligible to take part in this contest.
Here comes the best part of this contest. Courtesy of Heirloom Custom Turkey Calls we have some fantastic prices to give away.
1st Price:
A set of two custom made turkey friction calls, one cherry with stained glass and one mahogany with a inlaid picture. These calls come in their own custom built case made from mahogany and maple that opens like a book to reveal the calls.
Retail price: $125.00
(Here is a small teaser of the 1st price. Heirloom Turkey Calls are not only pices of art but they bring gobblers in too!)
2nd Price:
A single custom-built turkey friction call also from mahogany with a blue/grey stained glass and no case. The striker on this call is made from mahogany, maple and birch for a sweet, soft sound.
Retail Price: $50.00
3rd Price:
Is custom-built picture frame made from mahogany. It is basically a circle with a recess for the picture and glass, it sits in a holder that allows the center to be removed for viewing and then put back in. The holder is a square piece of mahogany as well.
Retail Price: $30.00
4th Price:
A camo hunting baseball cap printed with "Heirloom Turkey Calls" on it.
Retail Price: $8.00
Now these are no ordinary prizes, each item, except the camo hat, are unique and specially made for this contest, as such these items are destined to become in a very short time collector items. As is custom with Heirloom Calls, they are of the highest quality and craftsmanship. Each call is a hand-tuned piece of art. So don’t delay and start writing your contest story today. To read the contest rules and other pertaining info or register as a member visit the SHS Contest Forum.
I am looking forward to read all you contest entries on the SHS Hunting Chat Forum.

SHS Hunting Chat
Finally after many weeks of preparing it is here. A brand new online hunting community forum. SHS Huntining Chat is not your usual chit-chat and gossip forum we are trying to set it apart from the rest and have made a online seminar of sorts where hunters of all skill levels exchange their expertise and pass on their knowledge or you simply can ask questions and get answers from those who know.
We are proud to announce that we have experts such as call makers, pro-hunters and even hunting education instructors on our forum.
I am absolutely convinced that you will find on the SHS Hunting Chat what you have been looking for in a hunting forum.
Please stop by and sign up so I can welcome you too at the “Heart of the Hunting Community” a forum made by serious hunters for hunters.
