                                                                     Ontario Non-Typical Archery Record Holder                                        
    
 
Alex MacCulloch  was born and raised in Canada's eastern most  province Nova Scotia, Alex began his love affair with the outdoors as a youngster. By age twelve he was hunting, fishing and trapping and has never looked back. "The woods hold so many great memories for me, sights, sounds and smells, it's where I feel most at home." He moved to Ontario in 1987 and after a long hiatus away from the sport he returned with a vengeance in 2006, armed for the first time with a compound bow. His first hunting release took a beautiful thirteen pointer with a drop tine in the 140's, a buck of a lifetime for many but not for Alex! This season he destroyed the eight year old Ontario Archery Non-Typical Record of 197 3/8 when he downed a 26 point 213 2/8 Ontario monster.
"I attribute much of my success to my hunting partners who have been kind enough to knock years off the archery learning curve, to the countless books and articles I have read in order to broaden my hunting horizons and to phenomenal bladder control that allows me to stay in the stand long after you've gone home, I believe the Bust-A-Buck line of products have the ability to once again place me in the Ontario record book!" When not hunting or thinking about it, Alex can be found practicing Physical Therapy in one of several clinics he owns.

Hey I'm Eric Rash and I'm 25 years old and live in Holland, MI. I've been in the woods with my dad Steve and brother Nate since I was in diapers. Come October deer camp is my home away from home. I sat by my dads side year after year soaking up every bit of knowledge he would throw my way and at 12 I got my first deer and its been my life since. I also love to hunt waterfowl, I'f im not in my tree stand you can find me in my layout blind with my Browning busting birds.
 I've always hunted on our property in MI and this is the first year I will be traveling outside the state to hunt and I'm pumped to get out and experence a new area to hunt and new people to sit around deer camp with. I love meeting new people from around the country who share my passion of hunting and the outdoors. My dream would be to travel all over the country and make a living in the outdoor industry, but until then I'll just keep installing underground sprinkling it's paying the bills :)
 To sum things up I'm just a outgoing country boy who always has a smile on my face, loves to make people laugh and have a good time, hunt as much as possiable, spend time with my family and friends, a good bonfire and some cold ones, cooking on the grill, big trucks and cranking country music. 

                              


                                                                                                                                  

To start my name is Eric Jorgensen. I was born and raised in Minnesota and still reside here going on 34 years. I started hunting at the age of 9 and never looked back. I learned to hunt from my dad, uncle, and very close friend. They are all way older than me! I am an avid baseball fan and even played a little college ball myself. I was hurt my freshman year and was never able to recover. So hunting filled all my time from there out. At the age of 24 I met the women of my dreams Angie at a bar and we have been married 8 plus years now. She couldn't resist my dance moves. We have 2 kids Owen 4, Amery 1. They mean the world to me. Both future hunters. I think my wife is almost to the point of getting a bow her self! They are priority one. I am a full time swimming pool and hot tub service tech. This has been my job for the last 14 years. I'm the MN sales Rep and Pro Staffer for Bust A Buck Deer Lure. I also Own Jx4 Outdoors "The Tree Silencer".
 I have harvested multiple deer with my bow.  This year I took my first turkey with a bow and it was my first kill with my Athens Acomplice 34". In the spring I'm going to Quebec in the spring and hope to take a bear with my bow. I have plans on heading west to hunt Mulleys, Antelope, and Elk with my buddy Troy. The possibilities are endless but the cash flow is not. Someday I wish to live my dream and hunt on TV.
   I started Archery hunting at the age 12 with a Jennings bow that was made in like 1920. The first deer I ever shot at with that bow I missed by 30 yards. I was so nervous It was great. We found my arrow 50 yards in the woods and the deer was only 20ft away. From that day on I was hooked. I shot a High Country for a while and was never able to connect. From there I started shooting PSE bows where my success rate starting increasing. Now I shoot an Athens and will never change. I basically put the guns on hold and strickly bow hunt. There is something to be said about bow hunters. We are a family, and we stick together. There is an addiction I must admit too, and it is Bow Hunting!!
                         

                                                                                                   

             Ashley was born and raised in Kansas.    Although she has always loved being outdoors, Ashley only started hunting a few years ago.  Since she was introduced to it, she has taken some does and a couple decent Kansas bucks during firearm and muzzleloader seasons!
                                                         
Holly , I have resided in Middleville MI. my entire life on 91 serene acres located on the Thornapple River. Growing up I was introduced to nature’s beauty at a very young age and quickly realized how blessed we are to have time to spend one-on-one with God and his astounding creations while being in the outdoors. I remember countless times waking up extremely early to hunt with my dad and the excitement of the experiences ahead.  At the age of thirteen I began hunting by myself; at that moment I began to love the sport more than ever! Over the years I have shot two eight points, two seven points and one six point; my family says it is by the luck of my character and not expertise… I beg to differ. J Most recently, after graduating college and having the time, I have taken up archery.  I have to admit it is much more difficult than gun hunting; however I feel that the experience trumps any other.  I attribute a large portion of my hunting success to my family for their advisements on everything and also from the experiences I have taken with me through life whether it is from bow hunting, gun hunting, bow fishing, fishing, or small game hunting. 
Hi my name is Rachel I am 30 years old an I enjoy fishing and hunting more than you could ever KNOW!!! I think that I spent most of my childhood either up a tree or with my fishing pole tossed over my shoulder. I am originally from Florida and have lived in Michigan for 13yrs now. I was introduced to hunting when I was younger by my dad and grandpa. My grandpa always told the story of taking me out an him seeing a HUGE buck, but someone (aka....me) had to go to the bathroom. I was all bundled up in my snowsuit an well, I just couldn't hold it. I remember him telling me "shhh be quiet its a buck"...."but grandpa" ,I said, "I really gotta go". We walked back into the house an the first thing he said to my grandma was "MA, I AIN'T NEVER TAKIN HER HUNTIN WITH ME AGAIN". I know its alot of double negatives but he was awful MAD! My grandpa passed away that same year an I thank God for letting me have that special memory and experience with him! It was hard to go out even with my father after that year. I cherish what little time I had with him an it made me realize that even a little memory can have a big effect on you. 
                            
                                      

Rebecca has hunting in her genes. She does enjoy the sport of hunting but does it with glamour and finesse’. In fact, she was hunting while in the womb. As an only child of Scott and Virginia Wolfe who were avid hunters from South Florida, Rebecca hunted as young as eight months before she was born! They would hunt hog and deer in the Everglades, Avon Park and the Big Cypress area with Scott’s four brothers and friends. Every Friday as soon as Scott would get home from his work-week as a Plumber, Rebecca recalls her Mom being packed and ready to head to the hunt camp where they would stay all weekend. 

 Rebecca’s paternal grandfather is Bud Wolfe, a Hall of Famer in Sporting Clay’s who has traveled the world with renowned recognition in skeet and speed shooting. The Bud Wolfe Classic held annually in Fort Lauderdale is his namesake. Her fathers’ mother, Alice Ann Wolfe, on the other hand was a swimsuit model and department store model in Detroit and in South Florida. Rebecca’s Mom, Virginia Fay Hatfield from Virginia (yes, she’s related to the infamous Hatfield and McCoy’s) was also a model and an extra in Miami Vice in the 80’s.  Rebecca was an only grandchild for a number of years and was carted everywhere Scott and Virginia hunted or fished. Even as a young child she would go gigging and gator hunting.  However, she also grew up modeling, cheering and competing in beauty pageants when she wasn’t climbing trees or chasing lizards. She spent many hours with family and friends as the only child and learned not to fear anything—even the alligator. One of which she has recently conquered and killed. She has also shot deer, quail, and dove. While her favorite sport is hog hunting, her dream is to kill a Trophy Buck and a Bear. 

Today, Rebecca has become a beautiful All American (“Republican”, she quips) girl who loves to also shop and who stands for our second amendment rights and is proud to be a NRA member.  Three years ago, at nineteen she was discovered on My Space and started doing hunting promotions/modeling, JUST like her grandparents before her.  Hence, glamour and game is in her genes. Rebecca truly has her “game on”, do you have yours? 

To her credit she has promoted and modeled for “Razor Back Outfitters”, “Backwater Bowfishing”,“Beyond Backpacks”, “Xtreme Gloves”, “Hawg and Sons”and more.  She has been in two filmed hunts-- one was for gator in Florida with Eddie, owner of Razor Back Outfitters and the other filmed hog hunt in Georgia with North America Hunting Adventures. 

She is currently engaged to Brannon Spradley who also enjoys doing everything she does with one exception—shopping!  They have been together for seven years and plan to marry once they have their home established.  She also dreams of having her own hunting show or to at least be a part of one. Another dream is to have a women’s hunting apparel line featuring a very feminine look of which she already has a title for.

                                        

 

                                                                                
                                                                                                   
 
My name is Marv Owen. I started hunting small game with my Dad and Brothers when I was was 10 years old. I  taught myself how to deer hunt with a shotgun  beginning at 14 yrs old. I didn't start bow hunting till I was about 25 yrs old and been hooked ever since. I hunt some on my lease in Michigan, but my real joy is hunting our farm which my partner Eric and I own in Illinois.
There we manage the herd for QDM and only shoot mature bucks and all the does that we can, we bought or farm in 2003 and have seen steady improvement in the deer herd. Both Eric and myself have harvested mature bucks with the largest so far in the 150 class range.We have several food plots which are maintained all year long to provide good nutrition.
They consist of clovers and several different annuals.I have hunted mule deer in several western states and also moose hunted several times all with a Bow. I also hunted bear in Ontario on several occasions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
  

                                                                     

My name is Ryan Flaming. I am 22 yrs old. I am currently a student at Kansas State University where I am majoring in Animal Science and will be graduating this December. After I graduate I plan on going back to the farm. My dream has been to work on the farm and work in the hunting industry.  I grew up on an 850 acre farm in South Central Kansas. We raise registered Red Angus cattle and compete in cattle shows across the Midwest. While growing up my favorite things to do were hunting, fishing and working with animals.

           
                                                                                                                                            

 My name is John Van Ness   I grew up in a military family that traveled all around the country. My Dad served in the Marine Corps for thirty years and he was fortunate enough to settle down in Jacksonville, NC where I spent about thirteen years. My Dad and I hunted on Camp Lejeune with not much success, but I cherished every minute I could with him. He might not have been much of a hunter, but it was still fun to be doing what he called "hunting."
I moved on with my life, joined the U.S Coast Guard and got married four days out of boot camp in 1991. I have one awesome four year old boy and future hunting partner.
In 1996, I  decided to try my hand at a career in law enforcement. I have been a full time police officer in central NC for over 12 years and hope to some day leave law enforcement to pursue my passion for hunting and the outdoors.
During my career as an officer, I have been on the tactical team, where I was assigned as team sniper and entry team member. I love to shoot!  My skills as a shooter helped me compete in a National shooting competition called the 5.11 Challenge in Montana in 2007.  My partner and I did not win, but it was an experience of a lifetime. I was also a K-9 officer for about seven years and my K-9 partner, Judge, retired in Dec. of 06. He lives with me and is a permanent part of the family.
I own a website that sells hunting equipment....www.fulldrawproshops.com. I am always looking for new products to sell, new friends that can point me in the right direction and the opportunity to meet fellow outdoorsman that have great ethics and a sincere passion for hunting and the outdoors. I also book a few hunts on the side as well. 
 
 
                                                                                                                                                                     

Hi my name is Jimmy Grimley. I am from Middleville , Michigan. I love to hunt everything  from Squirrel, Rabbits, Turkeys , Upland Birds and Deer  to Antelope and Elk out West, but most of my time I spend chasing Whitetail Deer in the fall with a bow. I have been tagging along with my Dad on hunts since I was old enough to walk, and I will continue to hunt until the day I die. Good Luck and Happy Hunting…

I now own and run Deep Hollow Guide Services out of Chester ,SC,chasing trophy Deer and Turkey my life was changed forever.I had the chance a few years ago to try Bust A Buck and the results were unbelieveable,I killed two of my best bucks ever.In which one was a 11 pointer 237lbs and scored 153 and 7/8 and the other was a 217lb six pointer that made the Whitetail Big Six club.My Pro staff Team DIRTY SOUTH BOYZ and I along with all my hunters now use Bust A Buck,why because it works.

My name is Eric Worley,  next to spending time with my wife, and two kids I enjoy spending time hunting big game animals.  I have been fortunate to hunt and harvest animals in Michigan, Colorado, Texas, Wyoming, but my real passion is chasing big Midwestern whitetails on our farm in west central Illinois.  Here my partner Marv, and I practice Quality Deer Management, habitat development.  For the past six years we continue to see improvements in our deer herd by adding food plots, minerals, and letting smaller bucks grow.  To finally harvest a mature buck after all of the dedication, hard work, and luck is an experience that will only fuel your addiction.  It is a real pleasure to be affiliated with these other dedicated Bust-A-Buck pro staff members. Hunting safe, and Hunt Hard!

 

                                              

My name is Jason Morrow. I am 34 years old and live in Brandon, Mississippi with my wife, two boys, and daughter.  I have been hunting every chance I get since I was a kid. I started by tagging along behind my grandfather since the tender age of five years old. He used his patience and skills with hunting to help develop my passion for the sport. My brother and I are carrying on this tradition with our children. We hunt and fish often, and we have caused the fire to burn deep within our children as well. I am an avid Whitetail and turkey hunter. Although I do hunt using all weapons for whitetails, my passion is getting up close and personal with that ole “Sad Daddy” with my bow.  I enjoy using scents, decoys and any other tricks to outwit a big buck. I’m looking forward to the upcoming seasons as a Bust-a-Buck pro-staff member.

                                                    
 
Hello, my name is Brent Winka from Flora, a small town in southern Illinois. I am 40 years old and have a wonderful wife Jenny,  and lovely daughter Hailey. The population around here is about 5,500 with the deer probably doubling that. I am employed by the City of Flora and have to use every second I can to escape to the woods. Deer hunting around my town is second nature, everybody does it in some way, shape, or form. I have lived here for 40 years and have been deer hunting for 25. I have to thank my dad for getting me started in hunting and my wife for letting me continue to enjoy it! I also am a die hard Bass fisherman and fish in every tournament I can get involved with even in the winter months. I have spent countless hours either in the woods, field, or on the bank of a river or lake with my dad. I have three brothers and somehow dad always found time to take us fishing and hunting. I take my hunting and fishing very seriously (some say I even treat it like a second job) but that is the way I like it. I learned a long time ago you get out of something what you put into it, and for me, I want to kill big deer and catch big bass with no exceptions. Bust-a-Buck has come up with some incredible products and I am honored to be involved with a company that can produce such quality scents for hunting. Thanks a bunch Howard for making such an unpredictable sport a little easier. 
 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
 

Hey everyone I’m Chad Johnson.  I’m 28 years old and was born and raised in Byron, Michigan. For the last 5 years I have worked for Local 370 as a Pipefitter. I also enjoy playing softball and recently have taken up video production. During my high school years my fall days were spent on the football field. It wasn’t until after graduation that I discovered bowhunting and my obsession was born. For the last three years I have been hunting with a group of my closest friends, called Cranberry Creek Outdoors. We hunt mostly public land across the Midwest and recently released our first DVD. This year I will be pursuing mature whitetails in Michigan, Iowa and Ohio, with the help of Bust-A-Buck I am anticipating a successful season. I am honored to be a part of the Bust-A-Buck Pro Staff who is made up of people who share the same passion for the outdoors. 

   

                                                                                                                               

 
 My name is Bryan Busse and I was born and raised in Indiana. My father and grandfather started me deer hunting when I was 9 years old. I took my first buck the following year and it has been an obsession ever since. Coming from a farming family I realize the importance of controlling the herd.  When I was young there was a definite over abundance of does in our area and they caused tremendous crop damage, so I  would take as many as we legally could. Every time I stepped in the field I would learn a little more about the whitetail and I still do every time I go.  We eventually got the herd down and about 7 years ago I was up for a new challenge of going after mature bucks and sill take as many doe as possible.  At first a 2 1/2 year old buck was a mature buck in the area and after passing up countless bucks I started seeing 4 1/2  and 5 1/2 year old bucks and have been successful in  harvesting the 5 1/2 + bucks. I don't consider myself a "Trophy Hunter" by any means. I prefer to pursue mature bucks and if they have good headgear that's just  a bonus. I am currently on the Mossy Oak Prostaff, a RutWear Field Expert, and now am excited to be on the Bust-A-Buck Team
