During my tenure with the St. Louis Cardinals I was fortunate to be a part of several bird hunting trips to South Dakota. I was so intrigued by the experience, I proceeded to explore putting together my own hunting lodge and bring not only other athletes but any who love bird hunting to enjoy this great experience.
In 2001 I opened the Firesteel Creek Hunting Lodge, an 8000 square foot enue complete with many amentiites to enhance the hunting experience. Many from the Cardinal Family have enjoyed the lodge including Whitey Herzog, Red Schoendienst, Bruce Sutter and Mike Matheny. So you know South Dakota is prbably the premier area for hunting the ring neck pheasant, and we take full advantage of the season from September 1 t0 March 31st. The weekend hunt includes three full days of hunting plus lodging and meals, in a setting unparalleled in the part of the country.
I am planning to add a new component and would like to share the concept with you. It would involve some mini seminars done in the evening while the men are relaxing constructed around leadership, motivation, discipline and balanced lives, all things I was confronted with during my baseball career. I am sure there are men in your organization that would benefit from an experience like this.
This opportunity could be used by companies in several ways either internally or externally. Internally it could be used as an incentive or reward for employees. Externally to create or sustain relationships with clients or retailers for their business throughout the year.
I would enjoy discussing this conept with you at your convenience. I can be reached by phone at home, (314) 453-0339 or cell, (314) 616-6158. My email address is toddr3838@charter.net.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to consider this plan.
Sincerely,
Todd Worrell

Bill Henry Little Rock, AR
"Firesteel Creek lodge was an outstanding pheasant hunting experience. We were shooting everywhere we went. But just as good as the hunting was the lodge, the food, the people, and most of all Todd Worrell. He is a fabulous leader and a wonderful man to spend a weekend with."
Bill Moore Chicago, IL
"American upland game hunting at its finest - superlatives almost fail to captivate the beauty and excitement of hunting wild pheasants at Todd Worrell's Firesteel Creek Hunting Lodge. Working section-size fields with your friends evokes memories of how your fathers and grandfathers experienced pheasant hunting in the good old days."
Bill Rutledge Pacific Palisades, CA

Chuck Schreiber
"After a 25 year hiatus from hunting pheasant - I had the priviledge of hunting at Firesteel Creek Lodge. Everything about this place is exceptional and that might be understated -- the food, lodging, hospitality is fabulous and the skill / organization of the hunting was the best. Hunt Here! - You wont be disappointed."

"Our trip to Firesteel Creek was incredible! It was both mine and my colleague's first pheasant hunting experience and it was crazy fun! We hope to be back every year!"
James Comparato Director jWeb New Media Design St. Charles, MO jwebmedia.com
"The hunting experience at Firesteel Creek is everything you could want whether it is an annual get together of old friends, a family gathering or a corporate event. Todd Worrell and his team look after every detail starting with providing a first rate facility that establishes an atmosphere for close interaction in a comfortable, well-appointed lodge in the middle of fantastic pheasant country. Saftey is a concern for all hunters and Firesteel Creek stresses good practices with sporting clay tune-ups and ongoing coaching from Todd Worrell and the staff throughout the hunting session. For those who have not seen the strategy and tactics of a well run wild pheasant hunt, the Firesteel Creek approach is a wonderful set of experiences including lots of fast flying birds, good dog work, important teamwork and challenging shooting. There are lots of places you can shoot lots of pen-raised birds, there is only one place where you can hunt wild pheasants and know that all the details of the hunt will be taken care of in a first class manner."
John Rutledge
"There were so many birds I started giggling. I thought we were hunting quail!"
Monty Johnson
"Our group had a fantastic pheasant hunt. We have been to many hunting lodges in the USA, South America, Africa and Europe and believe that you have as fine an operation as we have seen. Every detail is well attended starting with a great lodge with plentiful and tasty fare, wonderful and friendly staff, comfortable accomodations and surroundings topped off by a well organized hunt with plenty of birds. I really appreciate your emphasis on the saftey and the welfare of all those involved in the hunt."
