Luke was born and raised on the Milk River in Montana. His family has farmed and ranched there going on four generations. He was introduced to the outdoors and traditional hunting by his father and uncles at an extremely young age, receiving his first bow at the age of about 5. He took his first whitetail buck with a recurve bow almost as soon as he was able to legally hunt and his passion for hunting snowballed from that moment.

Luke is also a professional guide, outfitter and wildlife photographer with his work appearing in magazines and periodicals such as American Hunter magazine, Outdoor Life magazine, Whitetail Hunter's Digest, Whitetail Hunting Strategies and Turkey Hunting Strategies to name a few. He has contributed to a book on the subject of whitetail hunting as well as a few outdoor hunting shows for The Outdoor Channel and the Outdoor Life Network.

Luke believes that the overall bowhunting experience should be a memory of camaraderie, woodsmanship and an appreciation of the animals hunted, with a filled tag being just one last layer of icing on the cake. Luke hunts both public and private ground in pursuit of Whitetail, Elk, Mule Deer, Antelope, Turkey, Bear and Pheasant. He enjoys calling coyotes as well as taking in a few hot days fishing for walleye or a catfish or two. He wasn't bitten but rather gored by the shed hunting bug since he can remember, and a few minutes of free time will find him searching for those lost bones.

Luke has been married to his wife Tara for a little over seven years. She has a few successful hunting seasons under her as well and has just recently delved into the world of bowhunting. They are blessed with two incredible daughters, ages 3 ½ and 1 years old.  Luke says they are his greatest accomplishment. Each one already has a "Little Bear" recurve bow and a set of rattling sheds...they are never too young to start, right!

Follow Luke through the year as he pursues the elusive whitetail and other game and witness the successes as well as the follies that any hunter can relate to...after all, it is hunting right!
