Tanner Potts - High Springs, Florida

"My name is Tanner Potts, I am 17 years old and live in High Springs, Florida. I love to hunt whitetail deer. My dad and I have a hunting lease in southeast Georgia where we can be found any given weekend between September and November. I also am blessed to be able to hunt on my grandparents property in Mississippi when we visit for the holidays every year. I am very passionate about bass fishing. I like to go to smaller lakes in the area in my kayak where I can easily spend the entire day casting. My dad and I also fish the larger rivers in our area too. I am about to begin my Senior year in high school which is very exciting. I hope to be able to play baseball this year, as our season was cut short due to Covid-19. After high school I plan to attend college close to home and am in the process of getting those plans in place. God has blessed me with an awesome family and we enjoy hanging together at the river in the boat or the springs. I love where I live, Florida offers a wide range of opportunities to be able to enjoy my hobbies." - Tanner

Jeff Tucker - Green Cove Springs, Florida

Hey Y’all! My name is Jeffrey Tucker. I grew up in Aiken, South Carolina. I’ve lived in Kansas, California, Texas, Georgia, and Florida. My passion for the outdoors began at age 2 fishing for Channel cats and Bluegill  from the back of my Grandpa’s Lowe pontoon. Since then, I’ve been fortunate to fish places like the Estuaries of the ACE Basin SC, Corpus Christi Bay TX, Port O’Connor TX, The Ogeechee River GA, The St. John’s River FL, Key West FL, Golfito Costa Rica, the Panama Canal, Algonquin Provincial Park Canada, Great Exuma Island Bahamas, and Guantanamo Bay Cuba. Most of my hunting and fishing knowledge was self-taught. My goal is to never stop learning about hunting and fishing. Over the years I’ve hog hunted in swamps near the Savannah River, chased whitetails in Fort Stewart Georgia, turkey hunted in Edgefield South Carolina all the way down to the Osceola National Forest in Florida, and duck hunted in most of the Southeastern United States. Lucky to be married to a Southern Belle. She provided me with two kids who are being raised Southern. This year marks 12 years on Active Duty in the Military. When I grow up, my dream is to own an outfitter/guide service. I love the Lord and this great country, especially the SOUTH! - Jeff

Brian New - Pickens, South Carolina

"I am Brian New.  I have grown up in the outdoors of Abbeville, South Carolina and currently reside in Pickens County.  I have a passion for the southern outdoors and hold firm to the belief that it is part of our culture passed down to us from generation to generation, and that it is up to us to pass this passion on to our children.  I have lived and breathed hunting and fishing since I could walk thanks to my dad and four older brothers.  I am married to a beautiful nurse, Stephanie, who also loves to hunt and fish.  I have a one year old and nine year old who I work hard on instilling the same ideas and principles of the outdoor life.  I believe in maintaining and preserving the southern outdoors for my children and their children.  I spend as much time outdoors as I can hunting and fishing." -Brian

Bryan Paul - Albany, Georgia

"Being raised in Southwest GA, I grew up following my granddad, dad, and uncles on their hunting and fishing adventures, which sparked the passion in me to keep these traditions alive. Still to this day those memories hold a special place in my heart. I hope to spread that spark for the outdoors in future generations, starting with my own children. I spend most of my time in the woods hunting hogs, deer, coon, quail, and ducks. Even my work involves hunting." - Bryan
