Billy Collins was born and raised in Maryland. He currently lives in Frederick, Maryland with his wife, Natalie. He has 4 children, Skylar, Brady, Alexiz and Hunter. He has been self-employed for the past 5 years, which has made it possible to get more time in the woods. The economy may force him to increase his hours again which will cut back on his time in the woods.
Hunting has been a large part of his life since he was a child. However, the past couple years he has been more interested in whitetail management and pursuing mature bucks.
Billy leases land to hunt but also hunts public land . He hunts in northwestern Pennsylvania, as well . Billy was able to put some nice deer on the ground last year and is hoping to share his experiences with other hunters this year. During his pre-season scouting he encountered a few decent bucks which make up his hit.
Jacob Kirwin is 26 years old and a professional MMA fighter who trains full-time, with the exception of deer season. He grew up on Maryland’s Eastern Shore in Kent County and currently lives in Frederick, Maryland. Deer hunting has always been a great passion of his. At age 5, his father made him a stick bow and he has been bowhunting ever since. He hunts mostly public land and is dedicated to promoting Maryland deer hunting, by showing the rest of the country some of the Maryland Monsters that can be found in the marshes and hardwood bottoms. He is very grateful for the opportunity Midwest Whitetail has given him and looks forward to bringing you good footage of some of these Maryland monster bucks.
Billy and Jason's Hit List
The following words are from Billy and Jason:
"WIDE 8": We are pretty sure we saw this deer last year in a bachelor group while in the stand the first week of bow season and we are looking forward to another encounter with him early this season, with the camera rolling.
"TALL SIX": From pictures of this deer at a mineral site early July we could tell this was a deer we would like to see again this season.
