1. Met a girl at 15, who I later married at 19, and we are about to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary in a few weeks
2. Basically taught myself to hunt, even though I have loved to hunt since I can remember. My dad rarely took me, and he didn’t know how to hunt very well himself either. He credits me and my brother for teaching him to hunt. Didn’t kill my first deer until I was 15, killed my second 3yr later, and didn’t kill my first buck until I was 25. I’ve now killed over 100 deer, as best as I can remember (I don’t keep a spreadsheet )
3. Killed a bull elk on public land early my first afternoon ever hunting elk. My only elk hunt so far.
4. Guided my daughter to her first antelope buck kill on public land, during our first morning, during my first ever pursuit of antelope. That night we got snowed into Gillette and couldn’t leave for another 3 days
5. Have coached multiple 4H shooting teams to state titles, then subsequent nationals match appearances. Both of my daughters have placed #1 overall individually in the state during different years, and I have had multiple top-ten individual finishers in the state every year that I’ve coached except for 1.
