About Strut Marks: 
Raised in the pine plantations and river swamps of east central Mississippi, I was taught at an early age how to hunt, fish, and sustainably manage resources to allow for the continued enjoyment of all of God’s creation. I learned to not only enjoy, but to respect and love the game that I pursue in the field. 

I was raised in a culture of rich hunting heritage and the blood from multiple generations of dedicated turkey hunters courses through my veins. I harvested my first adult gobbler at the age of five which proved to be an experience that would, ultimately, go on to change the entire trajectory of my life. The pursuit of the wild turkey is something that I became passionate about at a very early age and is something that I remain most passionate about to this day.

Looking back over a quarter of a century later, at the places visited across the United States, the friendships born and fortified, and the life lessons learned afield that the sport of turkey hunting has afforded me is incredible yet humbling to ponder. Years ago, I began putting some of these on paper to bring some of these experiences to life for others to enjoy. Strut Marks is a home for some of those.  

Stories from the field, mainly about turkeys and turkey hunting likely with some sprinklings of waterfowl hunting and retrievers, which are also near and dear to my heart. You may even find some gear reviews, as well. 

Thank you for visiting! Enjoy!
