What Hunting Guides and Outfitters is all About

First of all my name is Tony Gutierrez. I am a christian. I started hunting guides and outfitters as a service to my customers. They over the years have given me a chance to serve them through a way that I never dreamed possible.

I started out with a company that I founded in 1999 called Rising Son Web Design. At that time I called it Rising Son Print. It is a company that thanks Jesus for all the help one needs it helping one get started in a start up business. From there I changed the name to Rising Son Web Design because I was doing more web design that I was being called on for print material. Jesus has helped my company grow through out the years to what is is today. Being able to serve customers through out the country. No matter what the background of christian religion my customers are we are comfortable in making a good working relationship and sometimes even more than that a good friendship being able to help each other in some very difficult situations.

My situation came up November 20, 2004. My son Jerrad and I are whitetail deer hunters. We set out for our hunting trip on Friday November 19th little did I know that the next 24 hours of my life was going to change in a very drastic way. Jerrad and I always hunted together. He had been hunting with me since he was twelve years old. (As I type this it is very hard tell you the over all sense of loss one feels).

Jerrad was killed that morning while we were hunting. I heard shots early that morning one coming from his direction. but I was not really sure because we hunt along ridges and I wasn't for sure but had a sense it came from his direction. Well I waited for a while. it was a miserable day gloomy and cold. You really couldn't hear much on movement because the ground was so wet. That morning was so different. I heard a rooster crow at dawn. I got to the point were I got out of my stand and i wanted to make a drive in the swamp to see if i could push any deer Jerrads way. When i was getting down out of my stand my rifle was swinging in front of my face. Not something I usually allow to happen but never the less a mistake. The next thing that happen was as I was going through the swamp ii had to cross over some wind falls. When i did i again had my rifle barrel cross in front of my face. only this time for some reason I looked at the rifle and the safety was off. I got so scared at what had just happen all I wanted to do is get my boy and go have breakfast.

I got out of the swamp and made my way to Jerrads stand. I walked up and noticed he was not in the stand. I saw him lying at the bottom of the stand and I thought he was a sleep. I went over to him and then it hit me that he was shot. I began o cry out to GOD how he could allow this to happen. I knew Jerrad was dead he was shot in the head. I cursed and yelled at GOD for allowing this to happen. I hit and screamed and almost took my own life. I cried and held on to him.

Then GOD in his mercy proceeded to give me the lesson of life. He asked me where would I rather have Jerrad with him or with me. I told him that was not a fair question.

My prayer is that my family and friends all come and go to Christ. I type this for anyone looking for a reason for life. There is only one life and that is in Christ. I live in Christ for the love he has for me. I can see the beauty of my wife and the love of my other children. So many can not get by the days events that have so little meaning. Love and he will teach you to love if you trust in Him Jesus.

If you have not given your life to him I pray that you do It is simple. He did not make this a rocket science. Know that you are a sinner and you where born in sin. That is what keeps us from a holy GOD. Jesus gave his life to be a sacrifice to GOD for our sins. There is no work you can do that can have your sins forgiven. We have been given a way to be with a holy GOD and that is thru Jesus. No other name can save you from hell. You can call it what you want but it will be away from a holy GOD and it will not be good. I think it will be worst than your worst day on earth FOREVER! I know that the pain that I felt when I found Jerrad will be nothing like the pain one will have in hell. So I beg you please ask to be forgiven of your sins an accept Jesus as your LORD and Savior. Find your self a good bible teaching church. Read the word and apply it to your life. The stories in the bible are stories to help us see that GOD takes back people who fall off the wagon for whatever reason. He is always waiting for us to turn back. Don not be fooled by thinking you can do it yourself. You may end up with nothing but yourself and that could be your hell.
