NORTH BAY UPDATE...
Okay everybody, I think I've let the dust settle long enough to realize I would be giving up way too much to shut North Bay down at this point. I have talked with a number of you since I made the "closing down" post, and well, you guys have made this adventure into what it is. I have made way too many good friends over the years through this business to just let it go. And I continue to make good quality friends through it. I'd be a fool to give that up. It never has been about the money or notoriety for North Bay. It's always been about the camaraderie, the shows, the banquets (and donations, this has been my way of giving back for many years.), the hunts, and the ridiculously bad stories some of you guys expect people to believe, and let's not forget about the horrible food shared in a duck blind or boat, with cold coffee. I can't give that up!

I will be having a meeting with Zack and Tim next week to discuss the direction this will be going. There will be changes made, more good than bad I'm hoping. I think this is a prime time to make some transitions of what I'm doing here and I hope the changes made are with open arms by all of you dedicated NB guys and gals out there.

I truly do appreciate everything you guys and gals have done to see North Bay flourish over the last 11 years. It has come a long way, and it would have never been possible without the support from all of you. I feel like I'd be letting a lot of people down if I just let this go by the wayside, including myself. It still has the potential to go much further than it has. So, it looks like you all have to put up with me for a while longer. I'll post up more details after the meeting next week. And thank you all for your support. I hope to see more of you out in the field or at some shows in the near future.

Great news!
Glad you've had some time to think and make a game plan.
Life hands use shit sandwich's some times! It's all about how you dispose of them that counts.
Good luck with the next chapter!  By the way do you still have the same number? I tried calling but never got threw to you.

That is great news.  I have never gone through what you are going through, but I think it would be easy to just think of shutting everything down.  I am glad that time has given you a reason to reflect and make the decision to continue.

Well thats definitely good news 
I'm glad your not letting it destroy you. If you just throw your arms up, it will.
Hang in there Steve

Don't know what I could add that hasn't already been said.  I am happy for you and North Bay and hope you two have a long relationship.
