Hi folks. My name is Brad Harriman. I am 43 yrs old. I live in Marshall, Mo., with my wife and 2 kids. I am a retired Firefighter, from the Marshall Fire Dept. My wife is a fulltime Firefighter in Columbia, Mo. My son, Jacob, 20, is a graduate of WyoTech, Collision and Auto Body repair, and works in a local body shop. My daughter, Jessica, is a sophomore at the Marshall High School, and LOVES basketball!!!
My first hunting experience happened when I was around 8-10 yrs old. My uncle took me quail hunting, on Thanksgiving every year!!! Not sure I killed too many birds with that old side by side Stevens, but nobody had more fun!!! I started big game hunting when I turned 15. I started big game KILLING, when I was closer to 25....!!!! Took me awhile to learn I guess! I picked up bowhunting about 14 yrs ago, with an old used Bear compound. In 1998, I had a buddy give me an old recurve, and I've shot recurves since. I am presently shooting a Black Widow recurve, and LOVE IT!!! Words can't describe what Traditional Archery has given me!!!
Another passion of mine, is measuring North American Big Game. I have been an Official Measurer for the Pope and Young Club, since 2001, and for the Boone and Crockett Club since 2003. I
also measure for The Longhunter Society, Archery Big Bucks of Mo., and the Missouri Show Me Big
Bucks Club.
My 2 kids have also hunted, with bow and gun. They have both wandered from hunting for now, but I'm betting they'll be back!!!
My wife loves to shoot her recurve, but she works too darn much!!! We were married Aug 5, 2005, up on a mountain in north central Colorado. She spoils me!!!
I have been fortunate enough to have hunted several places. Whitetails in Mo., and Iowa. Turkeys in Mo., Iowa, and Kansas. Elk in Colorado, and hogs in Texas, along with small game everywhere in-between. 2007 will find me in Iowa and Mo for turkeys, august in Wyoming, bowhunting Pronghorn Antelope, and September in Ontario, bowhunting bear!!! I am one lucky man!!!!!!
Thanks for visiting M.O.E., we have a lot of great things we would like to accomplish, and with your help, we'll get it done!!! We hope you can stick around!!!! |
