Name:  John Dummer Location:  Wisconsin As the owner of whitetailworld.com, I look forward to sharing my passion with all members and guests that visit the site.  My passion for whitetail deer started at an early age.  I remember many trips to the woods with my dad starting at 8 years old.  Although I couldn't legally shoot till I was 12, it was the things that I learned and the memories I made that would help build my foundation for my love of whitetails.  My main weapon chose is now my new bow from Quest Bowhunting, but I do hunt with a rifle, muzzleloader, and camcorder.  I married my best friend Gina in October of 2005.  We have two children.  Our daughter Natalie is 8, our son Mason just turned 1, and we are expecting another precious baby in November of 2008.  I look forward to spending time in the woods with my family.  I will teach my kids to enjoy the outdoors and if they decide to chase whitetails like their dad, I will be there to share many great memories with them.   Name:  Robert Muncie Location:  Indiana      Growing up in Indiana you learned three things from the get go, basketball, hunting, and fishing.  I started all three before I started school.  I was given my first gun when I was 4, a black nylon .22, and started shooting immediately.  My father would take me along on hunting trips for squirrel and rabbit as often as I could go.  I started hunting small game when I was nine and was taken on my first deer hunt at age 14.  I was hooked from that first morning in the woods.  Deer hunting was nothing like anything I'd done to that point.  The challenge was over the top and my father seemed to make it look easy at times.  I harvested my first deer when I was 15, a small buck but to me a true trophy.  I've Been hunting every second I get since then.  Since deer season is so short I've turned to hunting waterfowl and turkey as well as other small game.  I plan on expanding even further with Elk, Moose, and Bear.  Any opportunity to get in the woods and hunt is all I need.  Although most of my deer hunting is done with a bow I also do some deer hunting with a muzzleloader.      Deer hunting may be my passion, but my life is my family.  My son Nikolai is five now and everything a father could ask for in a son.  He loves to fish and can't wait to go hunting.  He joins me on scouting trips and trips to check trail camera's and always ask when will he get to hunt.  Every good man has a good women behind him the whole way and I'm no exception.  Andrea has shown me unwavering support and continues to amaze me with that support.       Joining the staff at whitetailworld has been such a big honor.  I'm on a team with some of the best hunters in the country and I learn from them every day.  As good of hunters as they are, they are even better men.  I found whitetailworld a few weeks after it went on line and I've felt at home from the very first moment.  Whitetailworld has become part of my family. Name:  Mike Earp Location:  Missouri I was born and raised in the hills and hollers of the Ozarks in a sleep little town where hunting and fishing was more than a hobby, it was a way of life.  The Roubidoux and Big Piney rivers were my second home, chasing Small mouth Bass and Goggle Eye with an old Zebco 33 rod and reel.  Eventually I traded the fishing pole for a bow and arrow, and I've never been the same since.  Hunting became second nature, and hunting Whitetail Deer became my passion.  I enjoyed rifle hunting for years and harvested many deer, making a lot of memories along the way.  But my biggest thrill in life is to challenge a big mature buck with my Hoyt.  Sometimes I win, sometimes they win.  But I always leave the woods a better hunter.       My biggest influence in life and in the field has always been my Dad who spent countless hours teaching me to hunt, fish and how to be an ethical outdoorsman.  I married my wife Tracy in 1996 and have one daughter, Hannah.  I live in Springfield, Missouri just a stones throw away from my hometown and my favorite hunting grounds.  The good Lord has smiled down on this ole' country boy, letting me live my dreams of chasing big bucks all over creation and having a blast doing it. Name:  Andy Parnell Location:  Alabama I grew up in the rural community of Tibbie,Alabama where I learned to hunt, fish and trap from my dad and grandad.  I was exposed to the outdoors and all it has to offer at an early age.  I took my first turkey at age 6 and my first deer at age 9.  It wasn't until I was in college that I found my true outdoor passion -  bowhunting whitetail deer!  I have taken many deer with a gun and bow over the years, but bowhunting is in my blood. I have passed that passion on to my hunting partner ,my oldest daughter Courtlynne, and she is now hooked on bowhunting as well.       I graduated from the University of West Alabama in 1994, where I earned a B.S. degree in Industiral Technology.  I currently live in Mobile,Alabama and work for Honeywell Specialty Chemicals. I have a wonderful wife, Lisa and we have 2 daughters Courtlynne age 11 and Caitlynne age 15 months. Name:  Brandon Hammonds Location:  Michigan Born and Raised in Southern MI, I have been hunting and in the outdoors since I was 10 yrs old walking behind my dad on my first small game hunt, and now has come full circle. I have hunted 6 different states for whitetails and that number will continue to grow! I have also hunted in Canada for bears. My love and passion for the Hunting & Outdoors conservation has lead me to meeting many such great Friends that have left a lifetime of great memories. I am looking forward to that every year. Chasing my dream, getting after them huge mature whitetails, I am an avid bow-hunter that shoots 3-D tournaments all year long.  Now loving the same one-shot thrill with the Muzzleloader as well.  I have stepped up the adventure on my trips to the woods by trying to film my hunts and journaling my trips with the camera and notepad.  I married my wife Andrea in August of ‘03 and we had our first child, my son Maddox, in August of ’06.  I am looking forward to that first hunt with him. Name:  Jody Reinen Location:  Wisconsin I am a whitetail bowhunting junkie! I cannot stay out of the woods.  I am always wondering about what each day will bring on stand. My grandfather took me and my uncle hiking and squirrel hunting when we were young. This started the passion. I started bowhunting at the age of 13 after walking home with a friend who introduced me to shooting bows. He had an old recurve I used and I was hooked. I purchased my first bow that fall. A 4-wheel Browning Explorer compound bow. I harvested a button buck that first year and I have never looked back!      I will be bringing a new twist into my bowhunts this fall. I will be carrying my camcorder to track what I see and do (hopefully as that is the plan). I have two boys Shawn and Cory who are 17 & 12. They spend most of their fall playing football. Someday they will have more time to spend with me and become addicted too! Name:  Jeff Stewart Location:  Texas I grew up in the piney woods and Sabine river bottom of Panola county in East Texas.  My father started taking me hunting and fishing with him when I was only 6 months old.  Wrapped in a blanket with milk in a cooler is where my love for the outdoors started.  I am of Cherokee/Comanche and Scottish descent. Respect and love for all Gods creatures has lead me to become a moraly sound and ethicaly concious hunter and outdoorsman.  Archery is my main pasion but I will use any legal hunting method. I am an acomplished 3-D archer as well winning an uncountable number of tournaments over the past 25 years. Bowfishing is another passion.  I guess you might say as many do that I would rather stick an arrow in something than just about anything else.  I married my wife Sharon in 1999 and we have a great time raising our children .  Breanna 15 and Trevin(Beau) Hunter 9.  Plans are currently in the works for a new addition to tribe Stewart, hopefully a boy.  I have enough worries with one girl. Name:  Mark Hughes Location:  Indiana     Born and raised in Indiana, we moved to southern Indiana when I was 13. I hunted very little, just small game… rabbit’s, squirrels.  My dad small game hunted, and was a very serious bass fisherman, fishing many tournaments.      After high school I joined the United State Marine Corps, in 1987 I returned to Indiana. I started deer hunting when I was 22 for the first time. I loved it and was hooked. I hunted from the ground for a couple years, as I learned to hunt, them moved on to a treestands!!!!      I’ve hunted Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Wyoming, Illinois, and Missouri over the years in pursuit of the whitetails. I started hunting the longbeards in 1997, and I’m hooked on them as well. Another passion is coyote hunting.      Today I hunt nearly every critter that we have in Indiana… fish a little too.      My wife Wendy allows me to hunt… most of the time! (She even accompanied me on a spring turkey hunt). I have 4 children. A daughter 17, son 13, daughter 9, and son 6. They love to shed hunt, hike, and so some hunting as well.      Pro Staffer Robert Muncie and I formed Double Drop Tine Productions, in hopes of capturing our hunts on video. To share with other’s our passion for hunting.      I’m humbled to have been named a Whitetail World Pro Staffer, joining the other 8 gentlemen, from all over the country. Name:  Jake Davis Location:  Wisconsin      The first time I saw a bow hunt on TV when I was 13 I remember telling myself, “I want to do that.” Since that day there has been no looking back. There is nothing I would rather do then be sitting in a tree stand during early November with a bow in my hand.      Being only 17 and having an opportunity to represent Whitetail World is truly an honor.  The experiences I share with family and friends in the outdoors will last a lifetime.  Filming hunts has become a focus of my friends and I.  It is a great way to relive the hunt and capture those memories afield.      Having been born and raised in West Central Wisconsin has been great.  I have plenty of people in my area that share the same passion as I do. I have two awesome parents, Todd and Diann who are very supportive of my hunting, but always remind me high school is the priority. I also have a younger brother Drew who is 13 and sports are his passion. He does accompany me on a few hunts a year, and I think as time goes on his love for the outdoors will grow just like mine has..       I look forward to the years I have ahead of me involving hunting, college, and Whitetail World. Spending time hunting in the near future is something I hope I can do with as many of you as possible!
