“Born and raised in the southeastern United States, I grew up in the outdoors. My pursuit shifted with the season, ranging from native brook trout in the spring to rutting whitetails in the fall. The memories I created in the outdoors alongside friends and family are amongst the most vivid and joyful I have. Those early years spent in nature have been the driving force in my passion for nature’s bounty. Nature’s havens have become a place of peace, refreshment, and inspiration in my adult life. Hunting is a means of connecting and interacting with the natural world in the most rudimentary way possible. Harvest allows for natural and sustainable sourcing of my family’s food. Heritage is how all of the these things have progressed to their current state. Nature’s bounty is my passion put to words.” – Ryan Dawson
