As I look to 2009, I can honestly say that I do not know what the future holds in store for me, or my guide business.

Not unlike many of you, I need to drastically reduce my costs in order for not only my business, but my family, to survive. To make that happen, changes need to be made NOW, and I am currently unsure I have the votes.

Rest assured, until such a time that someone pulls the keys to my business from my cold dead hands, I will be operating with providing you a fantastic experience in the woods or on the waters/ice of Maine, as my primary function. I promise to make arrangements for all concerned should the future force a dreadful change of plans.

I wish you all health and good fortune for 2009 and beyond. I will continue to privately pray the same for me.

Brian
