Little “Chester the Midwester” with my first Wisconsin archery kill. That day I jumped off the school bus, eagerly ran to the shop, put on my camouflage, and ran to the tree stand which was only about 200 yards from the door. Having access to the outdoors like that is a privilege. I was twelve years old. At the time, I had no idea how much that opportunity would impact my life in a positive way. All thanks to my mother and father, they wanted their kids to grow up in the outdoors. Speaking of raising kids in the outdoors... My buddy’s @stevenrinella , @janis_putelis , @olcal406 , @spencerneuharth, @brodyjhenderson, @signs_west, and yours truly will be doing a live show at the Alberta Bair Theater in Billings on May 3rd. We’ll cover topics such as being raised in the outdoors, parenting, fishing, and lots of other cool things. Steve wrote a new book called “Outdoor Kids in an Inside World” and you will get a signed copy at the door if you buy a ticket. Who knows, you may even win some prizes!! I put a link in my bio where you can purchase your tickets. It's going to be a hell of a good time 🤙 @meateater . . . #fueledbynature #bozeman #billingsmontana
