About us

OUR HISTORY

Fall Obsession began in July of 2010 as a small newsletter.  For nearly two years, Fall Obsession Owner & CEO Sam Thrash would write a single hunting related article each month and send it out to a very small list of subscribers.  In May of 2012, Sam had the idea to convert Fall Obsession into an online Blog, and from there began sharing his personal hunting and outdoor experiences with others.  Slowly, Fall Obsession’s online presence began to grow.

In 2015, Fall Obsession launched its very first Field Staff Program, which allowed for hunters from other States to join Fall Obsession and contribute with their own content, knowledge and experience. The Field Staff Program started small, but was such a success that soon a Pro Staff Level position was added, and more and more hunters began to join every year. Even today, the Pro and Field Staff Programs are still thriving, and several members of that original 2015 Field Staff continue to serve Fall Obsession in various capacities. Fall Obsession’s Staffers have all played a big part in the growth of the organization over the years, and Fall Obsession remains very proud of their contributions and accomplishments.

2018 was a big year for Fall Obsession. This is when the transition was finally made from the old, original Blog format to the first version of the website platform you see today. This website is custom designed for easy access and delivery of all the various forms of hunting and outdoor media we at Fall Obsession produce. Fall Obsession went through a form of “re-brand” during this time, as we recreated our appearance with a new, very distinguishable black and orange deer skull logo, as well as redefining our company vision and goals for the future.

Now, nearly nine years since that first newsletter was sent out, Fall Obsession reaches thousands of hunters and outdoor enthusiasts nationwide. With nearly 40 individuals on Staff, Fall Obsession has grown into an effective organization, specializing in providing quality productions and online outdoor media for the everyday hunter and outdoorsman!
 

FIREFIGHTER OWNED & OPERATED

Fall Obsession is made up of hard-working outdoors-men and women, serving Fall Obsession at an Administrative, Pro Staff or Field Staff capacity. While those wearing our colors proudly come from various backgrounds and professions, we find several first responder and military personnel representing us at our core!

Fall Obsession’s Owner and CEO Sam Thrash, and Media Production Manager Nick Powell both serve in North Texas as Firefighters and Paramedics. We at Fall Obsession are also very proud to recognize other Fall Obsession Pro and Field Staffers who serve in first responder and military capacities in other states and cities across America.

Fall Obsession proudly supports our first responders and military, and thank them and their families for their service and sacrifice! As a small token of appreciation, we offer first responder and military personnel 40% off any online store purchase from this site.

OUR PURPOSE

Fall Obsession is a hunting and outdoor media production company and an outdoor brand promotion agency.  We produce a wide variety of original hunting and outdoor content including videos, online mini-series, podcasts, educational articles, product reviews and endorsements, photos, and more. We also contract out to other companies and individuals in the outdoor industry, offering various media production services for high quality videos, podcasts and more.

We strive to be the most reliable and trusted information source available for all hunters and outdoorsmen, may they be seeking further knowledge and education in various hunting and outdoor genres.  Through our own passion for hunting, our hard work, our personal experiences and our personal use of products, we hope to build a better generation of hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. No matter where you may hunt, or what your experience level might be, our goal is to have content relevant to you and your endeavors.

We work hard to earn your trust as a valued source of information.  We find value in reviewing any and all gear or products we utilize in the field. A majority of our product and gear reviews are from our very own Staffers, reviewing products they have field tested in real world situations and invested their own money into. Very few corporate ties. For those companies which we do tie our name to in partnership, we stand by their effectiveness, and assure our followers they are found to be reliable and effective, based on our own field testing and approval. If it works for us, we promise it will work for you!

OUR STAFF

Our Administrative Staff is currently based out of North Texas, in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.  However, our reach is much farther!  On top of our online presence, we are proud to have an amazing group of Pro and Field Staffers representing us in 18 different states across the USA, and in Canada! 

Our Staff is more than dedicated to sharing their own experiences for the benefit of others, and encouraging others to do to the same. We each make it our priority to demonstrate smart and ethical hunting at all times. We are not paid to do this, nor do we think of ourselves as celebrities in the outdoor industry.  We are normal people and normal hunters. We have normal jobs and normal lives and we each find ourselves in similar every day situations as you, the everyday hunter.

All of our quality content is meant to be offered at a knowledge, experience and even financial level you can relate to. Everything we do revolves around a single purpose…making YOU a better hunter, and feeding YOUR obsession!

We did not build Fall Obsession for us, we built it for you.  Fall Obsession is meant to be a beneficial educational tool for everyone.  As our hard work pays off and Fall Obsession continues to grow, we hope more and more hunters far and wide will be encouraged and benefit from all that they find here.  After all, it's not just hunting...it's an obsession!
