Recently, owner and operator of Tucker Ridge Outdoors, John Floyd experienced a series of serious and life-threatening medical events. He is currently receiving treatment and ongoing testing. His prognosis is positive but will take time.
At this time all future operations, to include DIY activities and lodging, are suspended until John completes recovery and receives medical clearance to guide clients on the water and in the woods. We do not know how long this may be. As a result, TRO will not be booking clients for the 2026 fishing and hunting seasons.
As our clients know, we had hoped to be able to commit to hunting seasons by early January. However, the unknown is just that and the need for additional tests and medical specialist appointments continued to push out that target date and the results dictated the need to suspend this year’s coming seasons. Unfortunately, we also cannot say with any certainty what future seasons hold until our path is clearer.
It appears that John’s recovery and continued monitoring will last at least several months and we believe the timelines to make the 2026 season happen are too fluid – for TRO and our clients.
We want all clients to know how much we appreciate them and that we want the best opportunity available for them, even if it is not here at TRO this season.
Lastly, we ask clients and friends of TRO to refrain from bombarding John with calls or private messages of well wishes. While we do appreciate the support we know our clients will want to express, the volume of contact may be too overwhelming to be helpful.
John has guided several hundred clients from over 36 states and 5 foreign countries over the years; there are many of you out there and most are still in contact. The best way our friends and clients can help is to let John focus on his health. Thank you for understanding.
