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!

Favorite Critter to Hunt: Whitetail Deer

Favorite Fish to Catch: Walleye & Panfish

What is your favorite thing about hunting or fishing?

My favorite thing about hunting and fishing is spending time with friends and family, and enjoying God's creation.

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

My best days in field was fishing up on Lake Erie. I got to spend time on the water with my Grandfather and Uncle, which made the day on its own. However, I also caught my biggest walleye to date that day, it was a 27" pig. 

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

I got started in the outdoors fishing with my Grandfather and Dad. I started deer hunting when I was in my teens. It didn't take long to learn that late October and early November is my favorite time to be in the woods. I maintain the lifestyle today because it provides food for my family, and I earn a great sense of accomplishment by donating part of my harvest's to people in need. I also hope one day I can pass my knowledge down to my son, and maybe he will enjoy it as much as I do.

Favorite Critter to Hunt: Whitetail Deer

Favorite Fish to Catch: Walleye

What is your favorite thing about hunting or fishing?

It is my release from everyday life. I have been through a lot in my lifetime, and when I’m on the water or in the woods I don’t have a care in the world. The outdoors is my passion.

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

My best time in the field would have been my first turkey hunt with my dad. I’d been watching turkey hunting shows on TV, and I thought that was something I might enjoy. Soon after, I asked my Dad to teach me how to turkey hunt. The first morning out we were surrounded by turkeys, and I was lucky enough to take a jake. He was a small bird, but I was only 14, and I couldn’t have been happier harvesting one on my first hunt. To this day that has been the most memorable hunt I've had.

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

I have been in the outdoors since I could walk. My dad and grandpa got me started on hunting and fishing. From deer and turkey hunting to walleye and crappie fishing, they have taught me everything I know. I maintain the outdoor lifestyle because it is my passion. It takes away all of my worries and problems. I lost my sister in a car accident in 2013 and I lost the vision in my left eye. If it weren’t for the outdoors to help me with my worries, who knows where I would be.

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.
