An Invaluable Volunteer
On behalf of Redfield, SD I would like to extend a big thank you to Focus Outdoor Promotions for volunteering in all aspects of Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the first Pheasant Hunt in South Dakota. The economic importance and pivotal role hunting plays in our state’s communities in was a consistent theme Dennis and team communicated during the celebration. The day was truly a success in large part to Focus Outdoor Promotions involvement.
Instrumental in a Tournament Series
Dennis has been instrumental in the development and execution of the Northern Oahe Tournament Series. He diligently promotes the tournament and every community involved in the series. His passion for promoting the hunting and fishing industries is represented by the high regard he has for his supporting partners.

At a personal level, Dennis and Focused Outdoor Promotions have not only opened doors for my career, but pushed me through them toward even more opportunities.
