Bio: Bowhunting has been a part of Jeremy's life since he got a bow for his 8yr old birthday and it didn't take long until he was able to harvest his first rabbit with that bow. Jeremy was born, raised and is now raising his own family in Kanab Utah. While growing up Jeremy's father Robert always took the time to take him hunting every year with-out fail. Now Jeremy is doing the same with his kids. With his sweet wife Holly they are raising three children of their own. Two boys, Wyatt and McCoy and their little girl Allie Jo. At the age of just 30 Jeremy as harvested some tremendous trophies with his bow and arrow. For the past 8 years Jeremy has mainly hunted in Arizona and Utah. With over 30 big game harvests to his credit, 11 exceed the minimum requirements for the Pope and Young all time record book. With several nice elk and mule deer trophies on the wall Jeremy soon hopes to expand his hunting horizions and harvest other animals. However come August you can bet he will be in Southern Utah chasing large velvet covered antlered mule deer. |

Bio: John Martin is a 34-year-old Animal Nutritionist from Petaluma, California. He has hunted since he was 12 years old throughout California, Oregon, Idaho and Wyoming for a variety of game large and small. John began his archery hunting and competitive career in 2004. Since then he has competed throughout the state of California, and even at the World Archery Festival in both the Vegas target and 3D venues. John shoots his hunting bow, currently a Hoyt Ultra Sport at 65 pounds and 65% letoff in the Bowhunter Freestyle division for all his competitive pursuits.
John has also introduced his family to the sport of archery. Erin, John’s eldest regularly competes in the local 3d shoots, and won the Sonoma County Bowmen Cub division in 2006. Her sister, Kelsey won the Pee Wee division the same year. When she is old enough, both girls plan to introduce their sister two year old Sydney, to the sport.
What does the future hold for John? Ever hopeful he has applied in a number of Western states including Wyoming and Oregon for elk, Colorado for pronghorn, Nevada for mule deer, and of course the various draws in California. One thing is for sure though, John will get a tag, draw or over-the-counter, to hunt the wily blacktail deer in the Coastal California region, along with the black bear that inhabit the same country. In preparation he will continue to shoot at the various competitive venues throughout California, as well as physically train. In preparation for the physical nature of his spot and stalk hunts he has joined with the group, Team in Training, to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society, while training for a 26.2 mile marathon.
When not hunting, shooting or working, John regularly speaks to groups on a variety of topics. As well as addressing young people in an advisory role, he performs cowboy poetry at numerous events throughout California. He has recently published a book of his original poems, Rancher’s Rhymes. His online column
Western Wanderer is a part of the Skinny Moose Media Network at www.skinnymoose,com/racktracker.
Look for John at your next 3D Shoot, on the shooting line in Vegas, or in a wilderness a long way from the road. He is always eager to lend a hand, offer encouragement, or just talk about hunting, shooting and his equipment.

Bio: John Macko grew up in Westchester County, New York and now resides in Connecticut with his wife and two children. He started hunting at an early age but over the last decade his passion has grown into a genuine addiction. John is partner at a financial services firm that helps companies manage their debt, and not by coincidence, his national client base allows him the opportunity to hunt several states each fall. He is also is in responsible for sponsor relations and development for the television show Whitetail Addictions.
John generally hunts alone and his friends often joke that he literally disappears each fall and resurfaces in January. He is on several archery pro-staff’s including Carbon Express, and being one of the original staff members for Lone Wolf Treestands and Limbsaver products. John recently had an article published in Field and Stream on late season hunting and scouting.
John has taken several book whitetails, including a late season 16-point buck which was fortunately captured on video and shown on Whitetail Addictions (Volume 1). His latest two bucks, a 42 yard shot on 150” 10 pt., and 300 lb. plus 155” bruiser at 37 yards, were his longest two shots and he attributes them to his confidence in his broadhead, the Wac’em 100 grain Triton. Having missed his first few Pope & Young Buck opportunities, he attributes his successes to learning from his missed opportunities and mistakes, reducing self induced pressure (helped by the birth of his children and support from his wife), thinking outside the box, and doing whatever it takes to get it done!

Name: South Cox |
| |
State: California |
| |
Bow: Mathews |

Web Site: |
| |
|
| |
Bio: Self taught from the beginning, South Cox’s interest in archery began at five years of age. Despite never having had a mentor, South’s love of the outdoors and keen interest in hunting remained an obsession throughout his childhood. What makes this even more interesting is that for most of his early years he grew up a vegetarian, though obviously not by his own choice.
When he was thirteen, South got his first compound bow and started hunting. It would be three years before he harvested his first buck. Since then, South’s aggressive hunting style has produced an unbroken string of successes. With more than 15 blacktails, seven mule deer, a moose, an elk and a bear large enough to make the Pope & Young record book, it is clear that more than just luck has played a part in his hunting prowess.
In 1991 South became a certified Pope and Young Measurer. In 1993 South and a partner took over operation of Eagle’s Nest Archery in Santa Rosa, California. In a addition to eight indoor shooting lanes, the pro shop offered in-house taxidermy that South performed following his completion of Missoula Valley’s School of Taxidermy. Through the shop South also offered bow hunter education classes, which he helped instruct. Unfortunately, after two years the shop was sold and South resumed working as a hardwood-flooring contractor.
Before moving from Santa Rosa, South was very active in the local 3-D tournaments, and consistently placed in the top of his class. However, because of his rural location since moving, South finds himself somewhat isolated from the archery community. That was not enough however, to keep him from accomplishing his long sought goal of winning the California State Broadhead Championship in 1999, which he has repeated since then.
South currently shoots for Mathews, a position he has proudly served for since 1998. In addition to Mathews, he works with Gold Tip, Spot Hogg, Winner’s Choice, Flex Fletch, Trophy Taker, Swarovski, Predator Camouflage, and Vibracheck.
For the past several years South has been focusing his efforts on back country mule deer. His philosophy, “Live begins where the trail ends”, fits his favorite style of hunting perfectly; open country, spot and stalk, the more remote the better. The freedom and flexibility that bivouac hunting affords has helped account for 5 of his 9 mule deer and a bunch of the blacktails. The consummate gear junky, South is always testing out all of the new products on the market; both archery and backpacking.

Bio: Adam Crumrin, 29 yrs old, is an avid bowhunter. He got his start around age 9 when he got his first bow but never would have guessed the passion it would soon ignite in him. He got started bowhunting whitetail at age 15, but with high school sports really never had the time to hunt other than weekends and holidays.
Killing his first P&Y in 1994, a 160" class buck. It wasn't really until after college when Adam could spend the time hunting and pursuing monster whitetail the way he desired. Spending every free minute in the woods trying to think like a weary old buck, figuring out why they do the things they do, go the places they go, and how they get there. He believes the only way to do this is with aerial photos, topo maps, trail cam photos and countless hours year around in the woods.
Adam decided early in his bowhunting career if it wasn't P&Y he was not harvesting it. Managing is family's small Illinois farm for big deer with food plots and proper doe management, Adam has went on to kill 12 bucks with his bow and 11 of them qualify for P&Y, 3 of which gross over the 170" mark and one of which is over 190".
Adam believes in order to get close and kill 4½ yr old and older whitetail you need the best equipment, which is why he uses Wac'em Broadheads, Lone Wolf Tree Stands, Skyline Camouflage, and Limbsaver products on all his equipment.
Adam has also pursued elk in Colorado and Idaho, and black bear in Saskatchewan Canada. After getting on Lone Wolf's Pro Staff in 2005 he hopes to try is luck with whitetails across the U.S. Some of Adam's most recent hunts have been published in bowhunting magazines such as Illinois Game and Fish and Petersen's Bowhunting. |

In 2005 Shawn was fortunate enough to harvest a black bear and two whitetails with his bow and all of them where caught on film.

Bio: Jared was born and raised on a farm/ranch in Southwestern North Dakota. At the age of 10 he began shooting archery equipment and instantly was hooked on bowhunting for big game. Jared became successful in harvesting whitetail, mule deer, antelope, turkey, and elk with his archery equipment; many large enough to make the record books.
From the solid beginning Jared has dedicated himself to mastering bowhunting big game in North America. He hunts primarily on his own and plans his own hunts while striving to achieve success each time. His interest in hunting is a family heritage honed from years of growing up hunting with his father and two older brothers. He takes extreme pride in his knowledge and hunting success and attributes much of it to his family and friends that he has made along the way.
After obtaining a degree at Bismarck State College he fulfilled one of his fathers’ last wishes and joined the military. After completing his training Jared moved to the Black Hills of South Dakota and was deployed in support of Operation Iraqi/Enduring Freedom and was gone for 18 long months. He is now an officer in the United States Military.
Jared is currently employed full time by the South Dakota National Guard. He is the Program Manager for the Innovative Readiness Training Program. His Duties include coordination of medical and engineer projects throughout the state. Most projects involve helping better the society in which we all work and live by improving and building roads, buildings, recreation areas, medical facilities and waterways.
Along with being a Pro Staff member with Wac’em Archery; Jared is also a Pro Staff member for Ultimate Outdoor Adventures, PSE Archery, Top Gun Archery, and Carbon Force Arrows. While holding a Pro Staff position with Wac’em Archery, Jared will help promote their products through hunting videos, magazine articles, sport shows, seminars, internet interaction, and an archery pro shop in the future.
Jared enjoys helping youngsters and novices alike with getting acquainted with the sport of bowhunting or just archery shooting in general. He takes pride in helping somebody achieve success in the sport. Each year he will introduce and teach many new people about bowhunting and archery. In his eyes nothing compares to bowhunting. Spending hours upon hours in the field contribute to achieving his goals season after season. He is known to set goals each year and strive to achieve these goals. “Bigger and better” is one of his mottos. Although achieving success in the field does not always mean taking an animal with his archery equipment. He is quoted as saying, “In some of my most successful hunts I did not harvest an animal, just being in the outdoors and becoming one with nature is enough!”
In the off season Jared enjoys shed hunting, hiking, camping, scouting new hunting grounds, riding 4-wheeler and hiking in the Badlands of ND, the Black Hills of SD, the Bighorn Mountains of WY, and any other place his adventures may take him. Jared cherishes his hunting photos and enjoys writing outdoor/hunting articles. Some of his articles have been featured in Eastman’s Bowhunting Journal, Dakota Country Magazine, and many web sites. His writing will continue into the future. |

He has big game hunted through out the western United States, including, Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Wyoming, Washington, Texas and California, harvesting Elk, Mule deer, Black tail Deer, Antelope, Bear, Wild Boar and exotics, He recently found, and became obsessed with South Africa, taking most all plains game while on his first safari with Nico and Will Pelser his PH’s.

His future goals are to harvest a thirty inch Mule deer, Shires Moose, Mountain Goat, and an Alaskan Grizzly Bear, with his bow, along with continuing to visit, and hunt the Dark Continent of Africa, his new and real passion.
As to Larry’s hunting equipment list, he shoots Wacem Broad heads, and a PSE Mach 12 Bow, Sims Vibration accessories, and a Cobra Release. He also believes strongly in the products offered by Crooked Horn Outfitters, After being introduced to Wacem Archery Broad Heads on a recent trip to Wyoming, Larry said” He will never hunt with anything else”. Its performance was far beyond what he expected. With a complete pass through on most shots, and the ability to re use time after time, it is a no brainer. He had never shot a broad head that acted as if it were a field tip. This makes practice, and hunt preparation a pleasure not a job. You only have to tune your equipment one way.

Bio: I have been shooting a bow for as long as I can remember and have been fortunate to have been raised with an appreciation for the great outdoors and all of Gods creatures. I started Bowhunting big game at the age of 12. I hunted whitetail deer in Missouri and had many close calls my first couple years. When I was 14 I was fortunate enough to harvest my first deer, a young whitetail doe. It is safe to say that from that point on I was hooked. I have taken many deer since that time as well as various other animals include turkey, elk, wild hogs, squirrels, rabbits, and even quail, with archery equipment. My philosophy on hunting is simple. It isn’t the size of the animals that matter to me it is the enjoyment of being in the outdoors and sharing it with friends and family. I am not, nor ever have been a “Trophy Book Hunter”! I am not saying that if a monster buck walks by that I wouldn’t shoot. I just believe that any animal with archery equipment is a trophy and never wish to get to that point where I have to have to have the largest animal in the woods to be happy.
I am a proud member of the US Air Force and have been serving our Great Country for the past 13 years. I plan on retiring at or around 20 years and from there plan on hunting even more. I enjoy sharing the outdoors with my family and friends and enjoy getting new archers involved in the sport. I shoot tournament and 3D archery as well and have been fortunate enough to be a part of BowTech Archery’s Tournament and Hunting Staff for the past 5 years.
My biggest tournament wins have been the 2004 North Carolina ASA State Championship in Men’s Unlimited and the New Mexico State Indoor Games 2006. I regularly place in the top 3 places in tournaments I enter, but over the past couple years I have enjoyed getting my wife Kristi, Daughter Shelby (5) and son Hunter (3) involved in the sport of archery more.

Bio: I've been dedicated to my passion of hunting for the last 15 years. During my initial 10 years of hunting I was your typical hunt where ever and whenever possible hunter. I spent most of my fall evenings settng up climbers in the local state game lands and other public hunting areas. Success was a rare occasion, but nobody could say that I didn't put in the time. Over the last five years I've been fortunate enough to acquire some prime pieces of real estate to hunt on. I've embraced QDMA in two of my hunting areas and can now be found spending my spring weekends plowing and seeding. Hunting whitetails has become a year round effort that I'm pleased to perform. I am strictly an archery hunter because I can no longer get satisfaction from harvesting an animal from 100+ yards away. I'm a firm believer that the most important piece of equipment in archery is your broadhead. However, I was never completely satisfied with any particular head. After shooting for several broadhead manufacturers throughout the years and trying nearly every head on the market I can now say that I've finally found the missing link, Wac'em Broadheads! |

Bio: My name is Daniel Antillon and I am 35 years old. I have been married to my wife, Kristi, for 10 years and have two boys, Hunter (age7) and Gunner (age6). For as long as I can remember my father and three older brothers have been taking me hunting. At the age of nine I harvested my first two trophy animals (Moreno sheep and wild boar) with a bow at Santa Cruz Island off the coast of California. Since that day I have been hooked on bowhunting and it has become a way of life for me.
I have successfully harvested over 100 animals with my bow throughout the years, many of them exceeding the Pope & Young minimum. I have also taken many animals in my home state of California that exceed the CBH minimum scoring requirements; however I have never entered any animals into any record book to date.
I am a member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation as well as the California Bow Hunters (CBH). I recently became an official measurer for CBH. I also belong to the Oranco Bowmen Archery Club. I spend most every weekend at the range practicing or shooting 3D's with my family.
I have been fortunate enough to hunt several different western states and also out of the country on occasion. My family has been very supportive of my passion for bowhunting. My sons have the same driving desire to shoot competitively and to hunt as I did as when I young. It is a great feeling to pass this sport on to my children. |

My wife Michelle, 34 years young, my son Christopher 14 and my daughter Kelsey 12. I was raised in a small farming community in Southern Ohio. I started taking notice to deer and turkey at a young age and my interest grew into the obsession that I have today for bowhunting. I started taking hunting more serious in 1990 and have been a dedicated bowhunter since 1999. I have harvested numerous deer, a few turkey and black bear with a bow. Five of my deer score Pope and Young, as well as my bear. In 1999, I started noticing giant whitetails in urban areas and started chasing them around the cities of Ohio. In 2000, I started hunting in different states and in Canada. In those few years, I was shown a whole new hunting world that I knew I had to become a part of. In 2004, I started an Outfitting operation, Southwest Ohio Urban Outfitters which has allowed me to focus alot of my time chasing big whitetails. In 2005, I became involved with Trophy Rock, Wac'em Broadheads, Treewalker Treestands, Vaportrail Strings and Cables, Country Boy Seed and have been included in their Pro Staff . I enjoy being involved with the N.W.T.F., Q.D.M.A., The Wheeling Sportsman, hunting with children, and introducing newcomers to hunting. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to start chasing my dreams in the bowhunting world and the good Lord has allowed me to start catching some of them. None of that would have been possible without support from my incredible wife, two great children, the good Lord and a few extraordinary people who have given me that opportunity, whom now I call friends...... |

Bio: I am 43 years old. My wife and I have been married for 19 years and have a beautiful daughter. I have been archery hunting since 1993 and enjoy it immensely. Currently have two Boone and Crockets 172" and 183". I have ten Pope and Youngs ranging 140" to 163". Most of these animals have ben taken by spot and stalk/still hunting methods.
Along with hunting, I enjoy creating quality habitat and food sources for my property and adjoining properties.
I enjoy bow fishing on the Wasbash River as well as leisurely meandering the channel with no particular place to go. |
