Ross and Julie enjoy all the friendships they develop operating Hunter Haven. Sometimes, an entire group comes to Hunter Haven from one area, but many times, families plus friends gather at Hunter Haven from different areas around the states to enjoy each other, the beautiful Nebraska countryside, and the great hunting. Ross and Julie like to think of these new friends as family. It's a great time. Ross has that sixth sense when it comes to animals. It's a gift he's always had. Whether he's working with his registered Angus cattle, his registered pointing labs or just observing animals in the wild, Ross often times knows what the animal will do before it happens. He enjoys spending time guiding hunters because he is an avid hunter and loves people. Ross likes to swap tales with his hunters. His easy going manner is relaxing to be around. He can make anyone feel right at home. Julie is a an elementary classroom teacher. As a lifelong venture, she has developed her cooking skills. Julie developed her love of cooking while feeding the hay crew as she grew up on a Sandhills ranch. She likes to try new recipes and is always interested in "my favorite recipes" shared by the hunter's wives. Julie used to do all the cooking buy now with fulltime teaching, she's passed the ladel to a good friend who has been a baker and a chef for 30 years. Richard McKay does the cooking for most of the hunters. He makes homemade desserts, breads and rolls and is a master at cooking meats to please the pallet. Richard has a lively sense of humor and adds not only good food to the table, but good conversation, too. |
