Hunting is a hobby for some and a way of life for many. I was introduced to the sport five years ago and it has become a growing passion of mine. I have only ever harvested small game and now I have moved on to bigger game... I never thought one day I would be a world record holder....There is so much time, effort, and energy that goes into every single hunt. Every hunt requires skill, dedication, and attention. Each hunt teaches me something new that I didn’t know before.I genuinely love and respect the sport. It’s not always about harvesting an animal, just being outdoors I feel like brings me closer to God. I describe it as my sanctuary.In May of 2021, I successfully harvested an Aoudad. This hunt couldn’t have gone any more perfect. My fiancé and I watched the game all day and eventually they ended up making their way down towards us hours later. In those moments, I was shaking and so nervous. I watched the animal take a step forward- I took a deep breath in - exhaled and pulled the trigger. I took the shot 72 yards downhill. The Aoudad ran 15 yards and dropped, in that moment I grabbed my face and started crying. It’s beyond humbling and gratifying when you harvest any animal and most importantly take a perfect shot.This memory and moment- is something I will forever cherish and share for the rest of my life. I am beyond proud and thankful. As a hunter these are the memories & opportunities we live for.
