Nic DiFilippo...

grew up dreaming of the day that he would be old enough to tag along with his dad and the guys to deer camp.  While waiting to reach an age where he could deer hunt, Nic hunted every other game possible but to him deer season seemed magical.  Watching the guys head off to deer camp only to return with giants created an obsession.

Nic’s passion for whitetail developed from his earliest trips with the guys to deer camp.  However, soon the single trip to deer camp failed to fuel his passion. Nic’s desire to increase his deer hunting season led him to bow hunting.

Today Nic’s passion for deer and deer hunting has only deepened.   Nic’s world still revolves around deer. To acknowledge Nic’s true passion for deer, his pastor added the words, “through sickness and health, through deer season and not” to his wedding vows to his wife Kristen.

When not hunting, Nic teaches US History, Economics, Consumer Education and Video Editing in Mahomet, Illinois just outside of Champaign. Nic’s school duties also include Head Baseball Coach at both the High School and Junior High and Assistant Girl’s Basketball coach.   Nic also brought the National Archery in School’s Program to Mahomet and another area high school.

Nic enjoys spending his time chasing and filming large whitetails in the state of Illinois. Nic feels very lucky to benefit from the quality and quantity of deer that Illinois offers. In the future, Nic looks forward to the opportunity to travel outside of his home state to hunt deer.

Nic lives by the quote “Your focus determines your reality.” He knows that hard work and a great deal of focus allow him to accomplish his goals, including filming his deer hunts professionally for 5 years.

Nic lives in central Illinois with his amazing wife Kristen, who puts up with her husband and his passion. Nic and Kristen have three daughters.
