I grew up in the good 'ol town of Pasadena just outside Los Angeles, California. While I did a little fishing and camping growing up, I mostly lived the city life. I moved to Colorado in 2001 but it was not until I started learning about our food system (and how conventional agriculture is for our health) during nutrition school in my late 20's that I had to make the decision: go vegetarian or source my own food/meat (easy choice). That year I grew my first garden and called a friend I knew that elk hunted every year. It has now been 9 years since I went on my first hunt, and I have become obsessed to say the least. I now hunt elk, deer, bear, rabbits, squirrels, grouse and have been building points for moose/sheep/goats. I have taken it upon myself to learn as much as I can through youtube, huntalk, and as much time in the field as possible. In 9 years I have been fortunate enough to harvest 4 elk (2 bulls, 2 cows), 6 deer (all does), and several squirrels and rabbits. Still lots to learn so want to thank everyone here that is willing to give tips to all who are willing to learn. While no one wants to give away their honey holes, I believe supporting the hunting community is key to the future of hunting and conservation!
