He loves nature because it’s full of beauty and amazing animals. From towering mountains to quiet creeks, every part of the outdoors excites him. He’s especially fascinated by Alaska, the Yukon, and the ocean, always eager to learn more about the wild places and the creatures that live there. Whether he’s exploring the woods, hiking a trail, or wading through a creek, he’s happiest outside, discovering new things and soaking in the wonders of the natural world.
Whitetail deer are his favorite animal because they’re full of interesting traits, like the buck rubs they leave on trees to mark territory. He enjoys learning how they live, move, and survive in the wild. He also likes to harvest them for food, respecting the animal and using what nature provides. To him, whitetail deer are not just fun to track; they’re a valuable part of the outdoors and a connection to nature, tradition, and the land.
Hunter’s favorite outdoor activity is exploring nature through fishing, hunting, and hiking. He loves the adventure of walking through the woods or along a creek, always on the lookout for wildlife. One of his favorite things is flipping rocks in streams to find crawfish or spotting minnows darting through the water. Whether he's casting a line or tracking game, he feels happiest outside, discovering the small wonders of nature all around him.
