Like many of you - I just found this post. Only a few months behind.
I am a Certified Wildlife Biologist and work for a private non-profit wildlife organization in Mississippi. Have a great wife of 14 years and two beautiful little girls ages 10 and 8 who love to spend time in the outdoors.
For those of you who don't know, what draws me to this site is as follows - I was born in Davenport, IA and raised in Atlantic, IA. Other then my older brother, all of my family still lives in Iowa. Graduated from Atlantic High School and then worked as an Assistant Supervisor in the beef packing plant in Oakland, IA. When they shut the plant down in 1984 I figured I'd better get an education so I went to Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, AR where I got my B.S. in Fisheries and Wildlife management. Moved to MS in 1990.
Now you know the rest of the story...........
