CLAY "THE FC" STRAHAN
Hello, I am Clay Strahan. I am the founder and the owner of Forks 'N Feathers. My love for the outdoors and for hunting is what drives Forks 'N Feathers. I created Forks 'N Feathers initially as a way to raise a few extra dollars to add to my hunting fund. However, Forks 'N Feathers has evolved into a passion to transform hunting and conservation. Whether in the field chasing big muleys, sitting in a blind, calling in turkeys or trying to outsmart hogs, it has become my goal to ensure that we bring the best quality hunts and gear to those seeking our service and to ensure we do it the BETTER-BIGGER-TOUGHER way.

THE BOSS
Meet Sarah. She is the beauty and the brains behind the operation. Sarah is in charge of all billing, shipping, receiving and virtually everything technical. If you have any questions or want an answer, go to her. There is a reason her nickname is "The Boss". However, besides being the brains of the operation, she is my loving, supporting wife who's vision has enabled Forks 'N Feathers to be the company you know and love today. In addition she's a proud gun owner and outdoor enthusiast.

THE GENERAL
Mike, my big, is 1 of 5 official Forks 'N Feathers guides. Mike gets the nickname "The General" because he is a wise old hunter, who is always taking charge and leading the FNF campaign to do it BETTER-BIGGER-TOUGHER! As the most seasoned member of the Forks 'N Feathers team, Mike's knowledge of the high desert and the Eastern Sierras makes him the team's most valuable source come upland bird season, which is his passion. Having hunted upland game in the high desert for over 30 years, there is not a quail or chukar that can escape this wile old veteran.

COOTER
Dale "Cooter" McCoy is my best friend and we have been hunting together for more than 20 years. As 1 of 5 Forks 'N Feathers guides, Dale has built a reputation as deer hunter, with having harvested approximately 30 deer himself and having guided another 20 or so harvests. Dale has amassed quite a collection of mule deer antlers over the years, including several wall hangers. Dale is a hard hunting fun loving guy, who will make you laugh until you cry. As you will see in our photo gallery Dale is quite the hunter. From hunting bucks in the high sierras, to chukar in the foothills of the high desert, Dale is always sure to do it BETTER-BIGGER-TOUGHER than the next guy.

PONCH
Meet Bryan "Ponch" Lombardi. Within the Forks 'N Feathers family, Bryan is the resident "Bird Whisperer" because of his passion to hunt anything that flies, dives or flaps. While Bryan loves upland bird hunting and deer hunting, his true passion is to be in a duck blind calling in waterfowl or jump shooting ducks when feasible. Over the years Bryan has hunted all over the United States. From California to Florida, with a few pit stops in between, Bryan has bagged waterfowl in the Pacific, Central and Atlantic Flyways. Bryan is in large part why Forks 'N Feathers exists. It was Bryan who introduced me (Clay) to waterfowl hunting more than a decade ago and got me hooked. Without Bryan's continuous drive to drag me into the blind, Forks 'N Feathers would have never been born. Bryan hunts one way.... BETTER-BIGGER-TOUGHER and thus the reason he is 1 of 4 guides.

Omar
Jason Harkins, otherwise known as "Omar" is one of my best friends in life. Unfortunately, Jason now lives on the East Coast and he can no longer serve as a guide. So Jaosn has become our apparel manager. He handles all inventory, orders, logo design and manages the website. Jason is a hunting fool. As a member of the Forks 'N Feathers inner circle, he hunts everything from dove to deer and is the epitome of a true hunter. He hunts hard and represents Forks 'N Feathers proudly. Whether its late season whitetails, or mule deer in the early fall, one things for sure... Omar Does is BETTER-BIGGER- and TOUGHER than just about any hunter out there.
