Growing up in Idaho my entire life with a hunting family, hunting was a big part of my life from a young age even before I was able to hunt for myself.

To me hunting is a way that I can provide food for myself while also enjoying the outdoors by myself or with family and friends. Growing up in north Idaho I would always make my way into my dads truck on small hunting trips in the evenings and the occasional morning when I would wake up on time. This was my first introduction to hunting aside from my dad talking about it and began by hunting journey.

After I passed hunters education I began by hunting turkey and deer with my dad, lots of learning for me resulting in frustration by my dad and took a couple years for me to figure it out before finally getting my first deer and turkey. From then I moved into the big leagues, week long elk hunting trips with my dad, this is something that we both would look forward too in the following years when we would get to spend a week away from home together in the mountains hunting, and something today that we both look forward too all year.

Although elk hunting is my favorite and I have recently taken up archery elk hunting with some success. I also am into many other kinds of hunting including deer, turkey, bear, waterfowl, and moose.

With my hunting experiences combine with my education in wildlife sciences I hope to bring topics involving this to your attention and provide insight into different points of view that involve hunting and wildlife.
