First and foremost I am a proud father of 4 wonderful children and happily married to my sweetheart for 12 years!
I have been in the hunting industry for about 12 years now and had the opportunity to be a part of some epic hunts and some epic failures. Both presented a great learning environment to be able to go back on and be successful. I want to be able to share my love for the hunt in all of its details. From packing for the trip to packing out the animal, it all tells a story. I enjoy blogging and vlogging my experience and opinions on the gear I use as well as my knowledge of success while hunting. A huge part of my hunting experiences, as of late, have been sharing my experience with my family as my daughters are now old enough to accompany me on more local hunts. Our family is a part of the the local archery club and enjoy the recreational activity and community it brings. I look forward to continuing to sharing my hunting experiences!

Travis cannot wait to get out there every opportunity during the season to pursue big game in hopes of getting that next B&C animal!
