Shelby Byrd (Alabama) – Shelby started hunting at a young age when his father would take him along on hunting trips to the woods around where they lived. In the 35+ years since his first hunting trip he has continued to hunt the same woods and has also tried his hunting skills in other locations as the opportunity presents itself. Although he enjoys all types of hunting, Shelby says his favorite type of hunting is chasing whitetail deer and turkey. Shelby also enjoys the chance to hunt with his wife and daughter. They go hunting as a family as often as possible. “Passing on the legacy of hunting to my child the way my dad passed it to me is one of the most important things I can do as a father” Byrd says. “Hunting is a great way to spend time with your kids and teach them respect and responsibility that goes along with the sport.” When he is not in the woods hunting, Shelby has a passion for fishing the Lower Alabama Delta and the Gulf of Mexico.
