Growing up in Billings, Montana was a gift for anyone that loves the outdoors. Many of the fond memories I have spending time with my father involved hunting and fishing and boating with my parents and friends. My father told rne that the firstthing I harvested was a porcupine at age 3, and I do think I remember this' when my education out of state took me away from most opportunities to hunt, I was lucky enough to marry a lady from Michigan that agreed to follow me back to Montana and enjoy Montana',s outdoors as a family, and altow me to pursue hunting in Montana, Africa {Zimbabwe twice), canada multiple times, Alaska, and Argentina. Enjoying the culture of these countries was just as exciting to me as the hunting and fishing- And knowing that organized fee hunting was also a wildlife conservation effort, that the monies collected from fee hunting were used to better conserye wildlife and habitat, made all these trips even more pleasurable. scl is but one of the hunting and fishing organizations that have done so much for conservation of habitat and wildlife, and I am grateful I can help give back to this organization.
