Waterfowl for Warriors is a program that helps vets come together to enjoy waterfowl hunting. This is seriously one of the most rewarding things I have volunteered for in my entire life. Thanks to all the people that put it together and helped make it such a huge success.

I've been out to sea a few times in my life, but this was the first time actually fishing. We headed out even though our guides told us that it would be rough. 15 miles out and in 5000 feet of water we had great fishing, but with 8 foot waves it made it pretty crazy. The northern waters off the coast of the Dominican Republic were fierce but beautiful. 

My good friend T-Bear and I had the opportunity this August to go hang with the guys from Musky Country Outfitters. Brad and Westin are definitely some of the best people Wisconsin has to offer, plus both of them are world renown musky guides. I was too busy taking in the scenery and casting my 11wt thousands of times to take pictures, but I did snap a few.

Took a trip over the pond and worked on motion as one of my main objectives. London is a meca. It has one of the fastest city heartbeats and you can just feel the sense of urgency in all that it is. 

The Villa of Vignamaggio in the heart of the Chianti countryside, is where my partner in crime and I spend part of our August. The main part of the villa dates back to the 14th century.  Mona Lisa, the daughter of Anton Maria Gherardini, was born at Vignamaggio in 1479. The amazing culture and natural beauty of Tuscany is just outstanding and these pictures just dont do it justice.  

The Minnesota River valley is a major lifeline to the wildlife in the south metro. I really enjoy dressing up in full camo to capture migratory waterfowl in its nature state. Or try too.
