I went to school in Green Ridge, moved to Nixa my junior year and graduated from there in 1983. I love hunting and fishing, and I fished professionally for bass and crappie for eight years. I started shooting archery for Bowhunters Pro Shop in the 80s and 90s, and moved back to Sedalia in 1993. I started MoKids Outdoors in 2004 to get kids more involved with outdoor activities. I've been hosting the Huntin' and Fishin' with Harry show for six years, and I love being back in central Missouri. I have three sons, a wife and a grandson. Thanks for checkin' me out!

MoKids Outdoors Hosting “Fishin’ For a Cure” at Liberty Park Next Weekend
Okay, I'm not going to give the weather any more chances. It was 80. Then it was in the 30s. I'm going to boycott the weather, because when the shorts come out, they stay out.
The last week of turkey season was a little tough, for me anyway. Crappie are being caught and people are finding mushrooms. The time is upon us and that makes me happy happy happy.
Thunder Chickens, Crappie Fishin’ and Fishing for a Cure
What can I say? I give up on this weather. What do you do when you get up on the first weekend of turkey season and it's 35 degrees outside? Well, you put on more clothes, grab your swamp boots and maybe a boat to get to that field those thunder chickens have been strutting in. It's going to be fun.
Youth Turkey Huntin’, Crappie Fishin’ and Wounded Warriors Hunt
I've started my blog posts with the weather every day for the last two months. I thought the crazy weather changes were over and done with. I can deal with a 15-20 degree temperature change, this IS Missouri. But come on, from the 70s to the 30s? This is just ridiculous.
Fishin’ Reports and Turkey Season for Youth
The weather is looking up and it seems like the weather roller coaster is over. I hope they shut it down. Well, let's start with some fishin'. Where are they catching them? In the water. No really, they are.
Easter Outdoor Activities
Well, the Easter Bunny is on his way, the snow is gone for now. I heard we could have two more snow storms, and one of them could be a whopper. I hope not, because if it snows next week, we'll have to hunt turkeys in snow camo and snow shoes. That won't be fun, so let's pray for no snow.
Stay Tuned for Fishing and Lake Level Reports
The weather roller coaster is on another wild ride, and this time I have to say that mother nature is a motha and groundhogs are on my most wanted list. The only way for me to feel better is to get out my AR and run a couple hundred rounds through it, then shoot my pistol, a few shotguns, more rifles, and then start all over with my other AR. Then I'll clean them, because the smell of gunpowder
Huntin’ Harry’s Turkey Hunting Tips for Youth
We're back on the weather roller coaster, 20s and 30s through the first part of the week and then back to 50s and 60s. I know one thing, I'm ready for spring crappie fishing, turkey killin', 3D shootin', campin' and fishin'. Man, that's what's coming right around the corner. We'll be posting fishing reports starting in April along with tournament dates. So get a new line on those reels and kno
Huntin’ Harry at the Deer Classic 2013 in Columbia
The snow is melting and the temperature is starting to rise. I'm about ready for some old fashioned thunderstorms with steady rain through the week, then sunny on the weekend followed by more rain. That would do me fine.
The Ups and Down of Winter Storms
Winter finally made a big encore performance and it was a blessing. It may be a pain and we may complain about it, but the farmers and lakes really need the water. I think this added about three inches of moisture to the ground with both storms combined. We are still well below the norm, but every little bit helps. The storm brought a lot of trees down and left a lot of people without power.
Huntin’ Harry’s Crappie, Youth Hunt and Archery Shoots
Is there ever going to be a level weather ride? We've had more ups and downs than the economy. I finally found out what all of the congressmen have in common. They all had the same jobs before politics: they were weathermen, which means they all have a degree in B.S.
