What is your favorite thing about hunting or fishing?

My favorite thing about hunting is striving to be become a 
better hunter and learning more and more every day.  There is just something about sitting 15' in a tree just clearing my head and enjoying nature, it’s in my blood! I love 
enjoying God's creation and looking at a beautiful view.

My favorite thing about fishing is being with friends and 
family and learning new things. I love that it brings people 
together. I enjoy teaching other people the fun of catching 
fish, and I even more enjoy watching them have a new 
experiences from what they've learned. I just love relaxing 
and seeing my pole dip down!

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

My best day in the field was actually my very first bow kill! It was Halloween morning, I decided to stay and sit all day. I saw a lot of deer activity but I just could not pull a buck down to me. Trying not to move a muscle, but shaking from being in the stand all day, finally I saw a nice 8 point buck on the hill that had so much activity in the morning. I grabbed my grunt tube, and called at him. He headed my way and got within about 20 yards. I focused my first pin right behind his shoulder. I could hear myself breathing and felt my heart beat faster. I slowly squeezed the trigger on my release and let my arrow fly. I waited patiently for any sign that he was down, after about 30 minutes I heard a crash in the brush. I got down and found him not 30 yards from where I shot him. This was a great learning experience which told me that it can happen anytime from sunrise until dark! 

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

I started in the outdoors when I was about 4 years old. My Dad would take me out on the boat with him. Usually I would fish for about 30 minutes, then I'd lay down on the floor while dad caught the fish. I'd take the fish out of the livewell and play with them, I also spent plenty of time cutting up Dad's night crawlers! 

During hunting season I would always go with him to drag out deer or we'd go check cameras. We did a lot of spotlighting from the truck too. At around 7 years old I had learned just enough to know a little, and he took me to do Hunters Education. I finished Hunters Ed and started hunting that very season. During the Youth Season of my first year hunting I killed my first doe. Also around that time I started fishing pretty hard with Dad. We fished tournaments and I eventually caught my first walleye, a 29'' hog at around 9lbs. 

It's great moments like those with my father that have led me to continue in the outdoors. It made us grow together, I loved and wanted to be like him. It creates a better connection with people, it's something that only sportsmen can understand. Some day my son will be raised just like my father raised me. Why do I hunt, fish, and maintained that sort of lifestyle, the answer is because I'm HOOKED!
