20110901085521009.jpgMatt Tatum is 25 years old and grew up on a farm in southeast Kansas that has been in his family for five generations. He started hunting and fishing with his father at a young age and grew to realize it was more than just a hobby for him, it is a passion that he wanted to share with others. Matt installs and maintains communications equipment for a local telephone company as a Plant Maintenance Technician. He enjoys hunting all types of game from deer and waterfowl to quail and pheasant. Along with his twin brother Josh, the two share about 3,000 acres of farm and grassland in southeast Kansas. This makes for a busy hunting year, but it is worth the sacrifice. Matt’s desire to film his hunts motivates him to tell a new and captivating story with each day afield.

"Drifter"- seems to show up on my cameras everywhere. He travels between two of my properties that are two miles apart. I was able to get velvet footage of him this summer on a bean field

"Gizmo "      -     has a very unique looking rack with a lot of character. He started showing up on the same property that I harvested my buck last year. Just looking at  his body size this early in the season he should be the dominate buck in the area.

The first picture I got of this buck was next to an old grain silo at night. He’s a clean 10 point that will score well and is a shooter in any state. So far this summer he has been in a bachelor group with Holyfield and some smaller bucks. Haven’t seen this buck this year.
