Don's drive for hunting was shifted into gear at the very young age of 4 while hunting with his dad and brother.  His dad has always been an avid outdoorsman as well as an excellent game cook.  Learning how to track, clean, and cook fish, squirrel, rabbit, grouse, woodcock, pheasant, duck, geese, and deer before he was old enough to even hunt them, gave him a jump start in the wild.  Don came to the realization that getting "close" to the game was ever so important.  Whether it be with a game call or just his own hands and mouth, Don has been communicating with the great outdoors since the beginning of his hunting days.  Being a good hunter and guide takes a certain level of patience and understanding of both nature and the client.  The challenge of it all creates a feat that Don lives to achieve. Don prides himself in bringing his clients the "Close Encounter" they are looking for.

"The hunt is always greater than the kill. However, there is no better feeling than to see my clients happy at hunts end."
