This is Bill's story:
I was born and raised in a small town in southwest Wyoming. We were not a well to do family, and lived in small home at the very edges of town. From the time I could first walk, the outdoors was my play ground. I would sit at the edge of unita ground squirrels holes with a string and wait for them to come up and snare them. I put them in an old shoe box and sold them for 10 cent to get a 9 cent movie ticket and a penny’s worth of candy. I wanted a bow and arrow and when my folks would ask me what I wanted for Xmas or my birthday, I would always say a bow and arrow. My folks did not have enough money and I always got shoes or gloves instead.
After working hard all through elementary and high school, I attended the University of Wyoming and I bought my own bow when I was 18. I shot my first archery buck deer the first day I went out hunting with it and bowhunting became my passion. For over 50 years I hunted with just my bow. I loved getting close to animals and understanding their talk. I would tell people what I had seen and many would question me. Many would say “Well then take a photo of it.” And that’s what I started to do. In my last 10 years of hunting, I made myself a promise that I would not shoot another animal unless I could first take its photo, put my camera down, get my bow and then try to shoot it.
My dad taught me to hunt with a rifle when I was young and we did it for food. But one day, not too many years ago, I shot a nice buck antelope after taking its photo. I decided that I didn’t need to hunt for food anymore. I decided to lay down my bow and let you young guys have my permits and I would just hunt them with my camera. I still get to shoot them and love doing that as much with my camera as I did with my gun and bow. Bowhunting above all else, taught me patience and persistence and respect of the animals I hunted. I now use all the things I learned, to shoot these same critters with my camera. From a pump 22, to a 32 special, to a recurve, to a high tech bow, to a high tech camera. It’s been a wonderful journey and I have been blessed, to be able to do what I have loved, all my life. I can only wish all of you the same!
