Finally, the time came when
Matt would accompany his father to track and retrieve a deer. . . THAT
WAS IT. . .he had experienced the thrill of the hunt, and things would
never be the same. From there,
as a youngster, Matt spent many days in the woods. Matt loved the
challenge of getting as close as
possible to animals, whether they knew he was there or not.
Growing up, Matt's hunting consisted
mostly of gun-hunting for Whitetails. It was not long before Matt
was out of the house and on his own. Providing for a family and running
several small businesses took
up the bulk of his time, leaving little time for hunting. Finally, Matt
came back to the joy and
satisfaction of hunting with a bow, the challenges and trials it
provides and the great surprise of
finding out how much his entire family enjoys it as well.
Being outside, going to bow shoots, and understanding the many simple
life lessons that hunting
provides--being patient, facing and overcoming challenges, conquering
pressure, building relationships,
the sense of accomplishment--and many, many other things presented by the
travels of the outdoors
are the reasons why Matt is addicted to hunting.
