Reliable Hunting Equipment

For me, there is no typical hunting family tradition and I was not educated in hunting as a child. I just had a couple of friends who took me to a farm in the region, and they just happened to hunt there.

After the first prey, I caught hunting fever. Only then can you understand other hunters. Over time, my hunting passion has increased. But more than anything else I wanted to be outside as often as possible.

As a photographer, nature is part of my life. For the past five years I have had the opportunity to hunt and work for the most well-known giants of the outdoors branch.

Each week I am outside between four and six days – for hunting or shooting pictures. Most often I go after white tailed deer or turkey. The shy white tailed deer has become a real obsession of mine because it’s the game species that is the most difficult to hunt in the Midwest. It is less about the prey than about the hunting experience itself. You can’t forget it.

You look for trips in the summer; look through your still hunt pictures; think about where you could best build a perch; check the wind conditions; and pay attention to all of the small details that play a major role in the world of the white tailed deer. Which tricks do you use to eliminate your own scent because the white tail deer will get wind of you if you can’t command the game of the winds.

I am a real nerd when it comes to equipment. 

I am infatuated with reliable equipment which can also take a beating and can be counted upon when it matters. An excellent hunting scope is essential for me. Whether that is for observing the velvety white tail deer in the summer or being able to distinguish between the mature animals from the young ones in the twilight.

I think ZEISS represents the culture of hunting in the correct manner and offers the best glass in the business.

I don’t have any dreams for the future. Only goals. And they are simple: I want to enjoy the small things outside in nature. When I am old and wise I would like to look back on my life and see that hunting and the experience with nature helped me to become the man that I am.
