About Me

I am from Western Pennsylvania, I grew up hunting and fishing with my Dad and 2 younger brothers. Deer season was one of the most anticipated events of the year, except maybe Christmas when we got hunting related gifts.

When I was in High school in the late '70's, I bought a bow from a kid at school, my younger brother did the same. we got pretty good shooting the old bear bows. and tried hunting that fall, we didnt get anything, but it started a small fire inside me. After moving to another town graduating high school, going to trade school moving to Virginia and eventually coming back to Pennsylvania I bought another bow. and met a friend who was a hunting freak. We were both on a mission to learn this bowhunting thing. I eventually shot a small buck with my bow. I had mixed emotions since PA only allows 1 buck I wouldn't be rifle hunting this year. Over the course of years the flame of archery hunting has almost become consuming. The bow is my weapon of choice.

In early 2010 I was invited on an Archery elk hunt to Colorado. and a new passion was sparked. In September 2012 I got my first Elk with the bow on my second attempt, a mature cow. The process of planning and preparing and eventually harvesting an elk is addictive.

I am married to an awesome woman and we have three kids.
