I had the good fortune to spend a day pheasant hunting with former Arkansas
Governor Mike Huckabee during his presidential bid.
Mike is a true hunter and a really personable guy. It was a pleasure to hunt
with him without having the media following us around!

Here's my son Aaron at age 15 with his first shotgun buck shot on public
land in Madison Co. Iowa.

deer than his father each year!

If I had to choose between pheasant hunting and fishing, it would be a very
tough decision.
Here are some nice Iowa roosters during the late 2007 season.

|
I have had the pleasure of introducing a lot of young people to hunting.
Aaron's friend Michael shot his first pheasants with us and Shadow the
trusty lab.

The KCCI Storm Chaser vehicle also serves as a great hunting truck with the
addition of the .30 .30 hanging from the mirror.
