Jason’s first taste of deer hunting came at age two, when his grandfather felt he was old enough to accompany him regularly on hunts in Madison County, Mississippi. Here, Jason was introduced to the exciting world of dog hunting, and spent much of his early childhood engaged in this method of pursuit. After missing several deer behind the hounds, he finally killed his first at age 7 while still hunting alone on his grandfather’s farm.

Although living in Louisiana his whole life, Jason never considered hunting there until 1999, after reading an outdoor publication outlining the various areas in the Bayou State open to the public for hunting. From that moment forward, he’s devoted most of his time exploring these public lands and utilizing strategies to increase his success of harvesting deer there. Most of what he’s learned comes from his own field observations and by asking everyone he meets about the tactics they’ve used to achieve success. Through a trial-and-error process, he’s incorporated the best of these insights into his own hunting strategy.

Those countless hours spent conversing with hunters all across Louisiana left Jason with an enduring appreciation for the superior skills, tactics, persistence, and passion Louisiana hunters posses over the rest of America’s hunters. He wanted to create something reflecting these characteristics for the public to see, and began production of the Bayou Bucks Documentary in the Fall of 2006. Following release of this award winning DVD, Jason founded Bayou Bucks University with the same goal in mind.
