What is your favorite thing about hunting and fishing? 

Making memories and making new friends.

What was your best day in the field hunting or fishing?

My best day in the the field was my first day duck hunting.  I went out with my cousin, shot my first duck, and that led the way for many more waterfowl hunts.

Tell us about how you started in the outdoors, and why do you maintain the lifestyle... 

If it wasn't for my cousin, I probably wouldn't be waterfowl hunting.  They always asked me to go, and one day I decided to tag along. That day changed everything as duck hunting has become a big part of my life. I now guide with Purple Hays Guide Service, which allows me an opportunity to share and create memories with clients. I enjoy it so much.

Favorite Critter to Hunt: Waterfowl

Favorite Fish to Catch: Crappie & Bass

What is your favorite thing about hunting and fishing? 

The heightening of every sense, and the absolute blessing of them also.

What was your best day in the field hunting or fishing?

My first turkey hunt would be my favorite, my grandfather called the bird from the limb to our lap. I can almost still feel the ground rumble from him gobbling, and the sharp sit and drum that sounds like nothing else. It's a million wonders that I even killed the bird from the absolute aww I was in from his display. I don't know how he didn't hear my heart almost beating out of my chest. Truly a memory I will cherish forever.

Tell us about how you started in the outdoors, and why do you maintain the lifestyle... 

I started hunting waterfowl early on when I was 8 years old. An older gentleman told me once that when you start waterfowl hunting, it's like an addiction. This has proven true over the years, but addiction is frowned upon in today's world.  I see it in myself as something that has been woven into my soul. It's my heritage, it's every single piece of who I am.

Favorite Critter to Hunt: Whitetail Deer

Favorite Fish to Catch: Blue and Flathead Catfish

What is your favorite thing about hunting and fishing? 

The challenge that comes with hunting is a huge part of why I am so passionate about the sport. I also love the experiences. I've had the opportunity to see things that a good majority of the population has not because of my time spent in the field.

What was your best day in the field hunting or fishing?

September 25, 2014, I was bow hunting for a deer that I had seen the previous gun season. That season ended, and a new season began. Spring scouting: April, I had my first trail camera picture of him. I continued to watch him grow all through the summer months, with pictures of every stage of his growth. I moved my set up in hopes of catching him during daylight hours. 

The second time I hunted him from the tree, at around 7pm, I turned and saw him coming from a standing corn field. While he was approaching I stood up, turned around, and got ready. As he walked behind me I drew my bow and settled my pin the way I had done so many times before, but this was different; I had watched this deer grow, knew where he slept and even what he liked to eat. My heart raced and pounded so loudly I thought he would surly hear it, but it didn't matter because for him it was too late. This buck and my story unfolded as I released my arrow and watched it hit its mark. He bolted into the brush and suddenly a loud crash, and I knew that that this chapter was over. 

This was my first Pope and Young deer, and one of the most memorable moments of my life. This moment meant so much to me because it was a deer that I had actually gotten to know over the year. I had the opportunity to watch him grow, and to end harvesting him was a feeling that is almost impossible to describe. 

Tell us about how you started in the outdoors, and why do you maintain the lifestyle... 

I started hunting when I was 9 years old.  My Great Uncle took me out for the first time on the fall squirrel opener many years ago. I had woke up ready to go and excited for my first hunt ever. Before I left with my Uncle, my Dad handed me a .22 rifle that I had been practicing with, I was ready. My uncle picked me up and off we went to a farm that was his honey hole for years. As I sat with him waiting for the sun to come up, I remember I started hearing birds chirping and sounds of the woods, suddenly I heard a noise I wasn't familiar with at the time, and it was a squirrel barking! My uncle said calmly "that's where we're headed," as he nudged me to move in that direction. We walked down a trail for a while staring into the trees looking for anything out of place, but we found nothing. I left that morning without firing a single shot, but I was enthralled with the idea of getting to go again. I learned a lesson that morning without knowing at the time, but this lesson has stuck with me for all these years, a hunt measured only in trophies falls short of what the actual purpose should be. 

As the years went on I started deer hunting with my Dad, and I was fortunate enough to take a doe with an old side-hammer style muzzleloader. The spring to follow I was able to take my first turkey. My father may not have been the first to take me hunting, but he has always been a huge part of my desire to hunt. He instilled in me a passion to chase big whitetails, and we actually started turkey hunting at the same time, so learning together has had its ups and downs. One example is the time we both figured out that once the tom answers and goes silent, he's coming, and that you should by no means get up and go toward him! Those types of experiences have created great memories and lessons learned, they brought us together and gave me a love and passion for hunting and fishing.

Favorite Critter to Hunt: Snow Geese

Favorite Fish to Catch: White Bass

What is your favorite thing about hunting and fishing? 

Enjoying God's creations, and spending time with friends and family in the outdoors.

What was your best day in the field hunting or fishing?

When I was real young I hunted with both of my grandpas. One grandpa was big into turkey and deer hunting, while the other was big into small game hunting and fishing. I can remember early mornings with both of them, and I always knew our success was never measured by the size of our bag but by the time spent together in the outdoors. My best days were all of the days spent with them. 

Tell us about how you started in the outdoors, and why do you maintain the lifestyle... 

I've been raised in the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, and camping have been a commonplace for me growing up. My family has taught me a lot about preserving the land, and the practice of conservation for what we have. We practice practical conservation efforts to reduce stresses on the wildlife on our farm.

      This year a fellow hunter and I are starting our own guide service for the spring conservation order snow goose season. I've been hunting snow geese for the last few years, this seemed like a way for me to spend more time in the field doing my part in the conservation of the tundra, and relieving stress on farmers fields in the area.

Position: Willowpine Outdoors Pro-Staff 

Favorite Critter to Hunt: Walleye

Favorite Fish to Catch: Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass

What is your favorite thing about hunting and fishing? 

I really enjoy fishing because it allows me to get away from the daily grind. I find it absolutely the most relaxing and almost therapeutic time I could have. The adrenaline rush of hooking into a nice fish compares to nothing else for me.   

What was your best day in the field hunting or fishing?

The best day on the water would have to be back in high school. I had the itch to get out, so I headed for a private lake that I had grown up fishing. I was working a scum frog around the spillway. I ran through a patch of thick algae, and BAM, the biggest blow up I'd ever seen. I pulled it in along with a pound of algae and there sat a 4lb largemouth that had inhaled my frog. A mind etching day with a personal best for me at that time growing up. 

Tell us about how you started in the outdoors, and why do you maintain the lifestyle... 

I grew up fishing with my Dad and Grandpa.  I learned most everything I know about the sport of fishing from them. I had a rod in my hand from time I was about 3 years old and have been "hooked" ever since. My Dad always stressed the quality and value of time spent fishing and placed little emphasis on the number and size of the fish caught.

I believe fishing played a big part of my childhood, and it taught me many life lessons along the way. With kids of my own, I'm always looking to share my passion with them, and give them a reason to put electronics down, and pick up a rod and reel.
