Wesley’s parents both grew up in rural communities. His family’s lifestyle lended itself to outdoor recreation and land ownership. Wesley’s experiences with land have greatly shaped how he chooses to live his life through what he chooses to do for fun and how he earns a living.
An avid hunter and outdoorsman, Wes began hunting at a young age with his father, brother, cousins and grandfather. He went dove & duck hunting before the age of 7, and shot his first buck at age 8. He began to bowhunt at age 12 and went on his first gator hunt when he was 16. Wesley would eventually gravitate to hunting with a recurve, which he did exclusively by the time he was in his early 20s.
