Skinny, slow white boy

Grew up in Tallulah. Dad took me fishing and hunting when he could. Killed my first deer in Tensas Parish when I was bout 13, a massive 3-inch 3 point!

Came to BR for LSU and started hunting and fishing marshes around Lake Hermitage in college with my best friend. Deer hunt around Lake Mary and Centerville, Mississippi and Ascension Parish. Been on a duck hunt in North Dakota for the past three years and looking forward to getting back up there next year.

LSUballs, I went to the real TA, not the one in St. Broseph, la.

Age 36..

Parents from Breaux Bridge and St. Martinville.

Raised in the ATL suburbs and spent my summers in LA with the grandparents. Moved to FL better part of a decade ago.

Fished with my father a bit but he lost his passion for the outdoors when I was young. My brother and I fished bass and trout in GA and fished the Cypremort Point area when I was in LA.

Hunting was mostly small game and ducks until meeting what would turn out to be my best friend while in HS. He and his father introduced me to deer hunting as a late teen. His father was former military and started me with a single shot rifle and taught me to make the first shot count. When he put me in the stand he gave me a single cartridge and that was it. Gotta give the man a lot of credit for making me a pretty darn good marksman.

I was whitetail obsessed for a while. Traveled to a few States and Canada to hunt them. In 2000 I decided to pick up turkey hunting since I would be shed hunting in the Spring anyway. Through luck and happenstance I tagged two longbeards on the opening day of the 2001 season and I've been hooked ever since.

I've hunted bear, boars, muleys, gators, killed a P&Y caliber bull elk and have traveled pretty far and wide but turkeys remain my primary passion. I've recorded two World Slams and a couple of Grand Slams in my pursuit. I still get as excited now as I did a decade ago.
