TROPHY RIDGE RANCH OWNERS...David And Rosie Wells. David Wells, owner of
Trophy Ridge Ranch, has hunted, he thinks, since his day of birth. His dad wasn't
even home for David's birth, as he was hunting the Illinois River for the mighty
mallard! David teethed on shot gun shells! Rosie at the age of four, put wads
in shells for her Dad during reloading time and hunted the cornfields with her
dad all during her school years!
Missing nearly 30% of his high school
days to hunt, gave David many days of hunting experience to know what a hunter
enjoys and to know hunting would be his utmost challenge in life, except to find
the right woman. She found him, and knew she had him hooked when she shot the
first squirrel they saw on their first hunting trip. She still tells how she had
to shoot that squirrel as his last girlfriend made a big "ka do" over him killing
a poor lil squirrel. Rosie knew that is why that gal lost David! Rosie said to
get her man, she had to bag that wild critter!
David has lived on Trophy Ridge Ranch most of his life, establishing
the best hunting sites and feeding fields for Whitetail Deer
and other wildlife. David's son, Tim, is a well-known archer
with hunting videos on the market, and his own TV program,
Relentless Pursuit, on the The DISH Network and other TV stations.
The Wells are Hunters!

Throwing a spear is not a new event for a Viking, except we
are not talking about the Vikings of 1200 AD. Jared Allen,
the well-known Defensive Lineman for the Minnesota Vikings
is also a great spear thrower!
Jared arrived at Trophy Ridge Ranch in hopes of taking a Bull
Elk with a COLD STEEL SPEAR. It turned out to be as exciting
as sacking an NFL quarterback! After a successful hunt for
a great 6 x 6 Elk Bull, he then turned his hunting skills
toward a 2000 lb. Bison! Spearing might have been a good possibility
on the bison, if time had not been a problem as Jared only
had three days to spare before he headed to Iraq on a military
tour to entertain our troops. So he grabbed his bow and with
Tim Wells, a well-known outdoor bow hunter and TV host, as
his guide, was able to connect on a giant 2000 lb. Bull Bison.
Jared came with his good friend, Boomer Grigsby whom he played
along side with while they were members of the Kansas City
Chiefs. Boomer enjoyed the thrill of Jared's successful hunts.
Trophy Ridge Ranch enjoyed having a great football player
and hunter for three days this past February! Had a lot of
great times and good meals! Jerad, best of luck in Iraq and
in your other travels. We will be looking forward to seeing
you sack a few quarterbacks this coming fall!
Tim Wells, Host of "Relentless Pursuit," The #1 Bow Hunting
show on TV, guided Jared on his first spear hunt. This hunt
can be seen in the fall on "RELENTLESS PURSUIT"
