Kyle's Story:

My dream began when I stepped into the woods for the first time alone. The serenity that surrounds me when I'm out in the woods is unlike any other experience. Watching wildlife thrive from all the hard work is extremely rewarding. After endless hours in a tree stand, working on timber stand improvement and overall habitat enhancement on our own properties, I began to want to share this passion for enhancing natural resources with others. And so it began after 4 years of study in natural resource management in the great Whitetail state of Iowa.  After working with their DNR on a unique project for an endangered species, I decided to start a business to help others maximize their dream property experience.

Derrick's Story:

My path into a wildlife career began when I attended a PA program called Wildlife Leadership Academy (WLA). WLA was a weeklong field school with many professionals from different natural resources, wildlife, and fishery organizations. I decided my career field was to be in natural sciences.
 I attended Penn State DuBois for three years, during which I did an undergraduate research project in herbaceous biodiversity and earned an associate degree. I transferred to University Park to earn my bachelor's degree. I had two fantastic internships during college before landing a position directly out of school with Idaho Fish and Game.
