I am 16 years old. My passion is to rifle hunt. I have been hunting since I was 6 years old, my dad use to take my with him on all his hunts I cherished every moment. The first animal I ever killed was when we were antelope hunting. I had spotted an antelope doe, both my dad and my brother set me up and told me to take my time, I shot and she dropped. I was hooked from then on out. The thrill of shooting my first animal was great I loved it. That year I also harvested a nice 4 by 4 mule deer buck. I also shot the biggest elk anyone in my family has ever shot my second year hunting, a 320 6 by 6.
Two years ago my best friend Tyler Ferris introduced me to duck hunting after a few trips out I was addicted between school, sports, and the ladies we try to get out every once in a while. I love spending time with family and friends in the field hunting and fishing. The best part about hunting to me is just being out away from civilization like normal day to day life.
I have harvested quite a few animals so far in my hunting career and hope to harvest many more. My best friend Tyler and I every year have a competition to see who can harvest the most big game animals in a season, of course I have won every year that we have done the competition “4 years in a row”. This year I only drew my antelope tag, but my uncle and uncle’s brother in-law both drew the famed Missouri River Breaks bull tags, so I think they will be pretty happy. I wish the best of luck to all of you and have a fun and safe hunting season.
