Rick Stahl / Pa.Bowhunter

   I was born and raised along the Susquehanna River in North Central Pa., having spent most of my younger years hunting and fishing along the river and learning as much as possible from each outing. I have hunted for deer from the river bottoms to the big woods of Pa. and haven't looked back since. I try to not only enjoy just the success of a hunt but the whole experience of spending hours in the outdoors watching all the animals go about their business. I have had the chance to take many animals in my years but none mean as much as seeing my three kids all take their first deer and the true excitement of those hunts. The fact is that our children are the future of our sport and I will do my best to pass on my passion and respect for every animal we hunt to not only my kids but anyone else's. I have an awesome family, which includes an understanding wife, three kids , four chocolate labs plus two cats and we all love being in the great outdoors of Pennsylvania.

John Wells / Godfather

   Being born and raised in Western Pennsylvania, I have been able to pursue my favorite outdoor activities all of my life. My dad got me started into hunting and fishing at a very young age. As a youngster I would spend all summer fishing the local ponds. Then in the fall we would be out every weekend either small game hunting or deer hunting. Archery hunting the whitetail deer is now what is my obsession. I cannot get enough of it! Now that I am a father myself, I can't wait to let my children experience the outdoors as much as I have been able to my entire life. I am married to my beautiful wife Jennifer. We have one son Blake who is two, and another little one on the way.

Vic Cook / Mountainman Vic

   I was raised out side a small town just north of Gettysburg, PA. I was introduced to hunting in my earliest years by my father. Because of his love for bow hunting it quickly became my passion and is now my obsession. I have since relocated to north-central PA to have access to the thousands of acres of public land. I hunt whitetails year round which includes looking for shed, monitoring trail cameras and literally hunting mature whitetails. I also enjoy chasing after our big ol' long beards we have here in the spring. Over the past 4 years I have added taxidermy to my list of hobbies which allows me to bring back to life the animals I harvest.

Jason Boer / bow_dad

   I was lucky enough to grow up hunting, trapping and fishing on the banks of the Tippecanoe river in North West Indiana with two brothers who also love the outdoors and parents with a lot of patience. I enjoy the outdoor life year round; thundering gobbles from longbeards, stalking the cool clear waters of the Tippy with a fly rod in hand and small mouth bass on the mind, fallowing my bird dog though a sea of brown with hopes finding a pheasant, everything that goes into arrowing a whitetail, the excitement of wondering what the next trap on the line will bring. Most of all I love spending time with family and friends, both the ones who have been teaching me things for years, and the newcomers I can share with, like my niece, wife Tonya and son Jack.

Adam Greene / IL Arrow Flinger

   I began hunting and fishing at a very young age in central Indiana with my father. I remember as if it were yesterday waiting on my dad to return home from hunting so that he could tell me his stories. When I was 8 years old he knew that I was going to loose it if I had to go another year without going deer hunting with him. This is when it all began for me. He of course as an avid hunter; taught me the ethics, safety and knowledge of the whitetail deer.
   A few years went by and I finally harvested my first deer which was a small 8pt. I truly felt like I was on top of the world! This addiction really set in when I began working at an archery shop in high school. This was a year of a lot of firsts for me; duck and goose hunting, my first turkey, and my first P&Y with bow. The next few years were fantastic culminating with my first big non-typical buck with a great buddy behind the camera. From then on out I was more than hooked; trying to always take something away from the hunt and learn all that I could from both my experiences in the field and the other hunting nuts I met along the way.
   I currently live and chase the majestic whitetail buck in central Illinois. Upon moving to Illinois my time both in front and behind the camera has been an experience that I will always remember. There is just something about being able to re-live the moment not only in your mind but by the video captured. My absolute fondest memories are the times spent with my father and close friends in the timber. I am utterly obsessed with the quests of harvesting a mature buck. I cherish every single moment that I am pursuing my passion for this wonderful sport and cant wait to see what is in store for the upcoming seasons!
