I started hunting & fishing later in life than most people. I killed my first deer when I was 19 years old. I started fishing hard when I was about 23 years old. I got the bug for the outdoors from my friends, and learned many things from them. Some of the people I have to give credit to for my obsession that I have now; Brian and his dad (Chip), they showed me, and let me learn many things about hunting and the outdoors. With anything that I have a passion for I always want to get better and learn more. So now that we video almost ever thing we do in the outdoors I can re-live my successes and my disappointment. I hope you enjoy watching, as much as we do making this video.

I grew up in Western Pennsylvania, where I started hunting and fishing at a very young age. Between my uncles dairy farm and my grandfathers cabin in the Appalachian mountains I had it made.I spent a lot of weekends and most of my summers there with my father . I enjoyed being in the outdoors with him , that was our time together . During my teenage years my fathers health declined and forced him to give up what he loved so dearly . As time went on my visits back home became fewer and fewer , but the highlight of the visit was always our time together talking about my adventures of where I had been and listening to the stories I had to tell . It has been over a decade now since my father has passed and I really miss those times together . I think that is part of the reason I love the outdoors so much , because I know he is out there with me. Since then I have had the pleasure of meeting Matt , Nick and Brian , who have further added to my passion by introducing me to videography . We have already been on many exciting adventures together and hope this continues for years to come .They are a great group of guys who are just as passionate about the outdoors as I am . I hope everyone enjoys watching and hearing about our adventures as much as we do making them . Happy Hunting and Fishing

I'm a 41 year old father of 4, who grew up in Eastern Iowa, in a little, I mean little town called Graf; it is a farming community that consists of rednecks, rivers, timber and game animal, most of the people in our town were either extremely older or younger than I, so I always spent a lot of time alone. I also had 3 siblings whom were not into the outdoors as much as I was so I spent a lot of the time learning about the outdoors on my own. It wasn't until I was much older that my father really got me involved with hunting, fishing and camping (shot my first buck at the age of 16), so I spent a lot of weekends and most of the seasons with myself, figuring out all I could about wildlife and the outdoors. I really started getting serious about bow hunting (after shooting my first bow at a very young age) when I was about 32 and realized it would forever be my hobby/passion of choice. I now have four children of my own and they all share the same love of the outdoors that I do and we share that love every chance we get. Encountering all of the wonderful noises and smells in the wilderness are enough to make you never want to leave. It is so important that we take the time and try to involve others in this feeling/lifestyle or what others call a sport (what I call passion), we have to keep it going and enjoy this god given greatness for years to come, or all of this magic may be gone. I truly believe that understanding/appreciating and utilizing the outdoors, my videography and photography have changed my life and will continue to do so. Remember, it's not about the kill, it's about the experience! - "GONE THINKIN OUTDOORS"
Nick Lieb
I was born and raised in Licking County, Ohio. I started out fishing with the patented pocket fisherman in the neighborhood pond. I remember spending almost my entire childhood with a fishing pole or a bb gun in hand. The main influence on me becoming an outdoor fanatic started from family and friends: my dad, Dick Lieb, and my uncles George Lieb and Bob Lieb, friends Frank, Chris and Kevin Savely, Bob Lott, and Mike Muncy. The time spent frog gigging, cat fishing, setting turtle lines, carp shooting, rabbit, pheasant, duck, deer, squirrel, and turkey hunting with these people are some of my fondest memories. Although my dad, George and Bob Lieb, and Frank Savely have all passed on, I often catch myself thinking of them and the time and effort they put forth taking a boy hunting and fishing. These memories that are burned into my mind, memories that have given me my passion, inspire me to create the same passion for my three young children. Hopefully, you will enjoy the memories we will share together bringing the Wildlife into your world.
Jared Ash
Hi everyone! My name is Jared Ash and I was born and raised in northeast Iowa. I currently work for the Iowa Department of Corrections as a Correctional Officer. I am married to my beautiful Wife Melissa Ash with whom we have two wonderful children, Brooke and Hunter. I was first introduced to hunting at a young age by my Father. He use to take me out squirrel hunting, and from then on I have been infatuated with the outdoors. As I matured I expanded my variety of game that I pursued in the woods. I started Deer hunting and shot my first Buck when I was 16 years old and was instantly hooked on deer hunting. I then wanted to challenge my self even more and started Bow hunting Deer and Turkeys. Over the years I have learned and shared a lot of knowledge about hunting.
Brandon Shamhart
I grew up in Southern Ohio with a passion for the outdoors since birth. I give my Dad "Keith" credit for introducing me to the wonderfull world of being a sportsman. Even before I can remember, my Father would take me small game hunting in the early fall and fishing farm ponds through the summer months. Since then I have hunted many different species across the United States and Canada, all the while meeting new people and gaining more knowledge about the sport. I have passed that passion on to many different young people through my travels, which gives me more gratification than words can describe. I appreciate every second I spend in the woods and on the water and for that Dad, I thank you. I am grateful to spend my life doing what I love and experiencing these moments with so many great viewers. Thanks and good luck!
