Ike

I started hunting at the age of 12 and have been in love with the sport from the very start. I hunt as well as shoot 3D and indoor. I have tried to accumulate as much knowledge as I could to become a better archer and hunter. I started this website to help others do the same. I hope to provide a non-biased look at some of the archery products out there as well as post videos sharing what I know about archery.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions that you may have. I look forward to hearing from you.

Jody Eulitt

I'm Jody, friends call me Pup. I was born and raised in NE Oklahoma. Dad taught us how to hunt, fish and respect everything outdoors. I am married with two boys and want to pass those values Dad instilled in us to them. I love the outdoors! I hunt every chance I get, but love whitetail and ducks. When I'm not hunting, I'm taking the boys fishing, or teaching them how to shoot bows and scout for deer. I am very excited to be a part of Ike's Outdoors and look forward to things to come.

Bert "Half Pint"Bresee

Liven Life at Full Draw, Spring Strut-Fall Rut, and When I am sitting 20 foot up in a tree stand, I am just 20 foot closer to God! These are a few of the quotes I try to live my life by!

My first love is for a VERY understanding wife and two daughters, whom I dearly love! My second love has been for the outdoors ever since I was introduced to it at the age of 8 years old. I strive to spend as much time as possible in the outdoors that I can. I have harvested several trophy whitetail bucks and does, which consist of a few high scoring bucks along with several mature wild turkeys. Another passion is working with others that also enjoy the outdoors and those whom never experienced the outdoors. I have introduced children as well as adults to the outdoors whom still enjoy it today!

My resume would consist of Deer, Turkey, Ducks, Geese, and Predator hunting as well as upland birds and other small game. My hunting season starts off in my resident state of Oklahoma and I usually find myself traveling to other states where I am lucky enough to get my tags. I usually spend the later part of spring through the early part of autumn checking trail cameras and moving tree stands, finding new travel routes, bedding and feeding areas. You might even possibly find me in between jumping from pond to pond or on a lake somewhere. I have caught my share of anything from bluegill to spoonbill! My full-time job is selling welding supplies along with industrial and medical gases. I have been in this industry for 18 years and I have enjoyed every minute of it!

Please follow myself and the rest of the IkesOutdoors.com Team as we will be bringing you some of our exciting experiences from the outdoors!

George “Shorty” Forbis

Hunting is one of the top passions in my life. I have been hunting ever since my Father introduced me to the outdoors at the age of 5. I love the rush of hunting with archery equipment, but I will hunt with a rifle and smoke pole! Deer is not the only thing I love to hunt, because I also enjoy hunting upland game birds, small game, predators, and wild turkeys. Through out the summer months, when I am not out scouting you will find me fishing some where. Fishing is another passion that has been in my family’s bloodline for generations.

I enjoy introducing others to the outdoors just the same as what my father did for me. I have introduced children and adults to the outdoors who continues to enjoy it today.
“You can't be in the outdoors from the indoors!”

David Harper

My name is David Harper, but most people call me Harper and I am from East Tennessee. I have been married since 2002, and am a father to my 3 kids. I work as a Corporal for the local Sheriff’s Dept, where I have been employed for the past 10 years. I attended the police academy right out of high school, and was the youngest in my class. I started hunting small game with my uncle when I was around 11. Then hunting sort of drifted away until recently. This is my first year hunting bigger game, and I am very excited to get started. Other hobbies I enjoy are fishing, especially cat fishing, and working with paracord making survival bracelets, etc. I am honored to have been chosen as part of Ike’s Outdoors field staff, and can’t wait for what’s to come!

Michael Lafitte

There are three things in this world that fire me up: Jesus Christ, my wife, and hunting. I am very active in a local church so I don't hunt on Sunday mornings. I am married to a bombshell of a wife, named Kelly, who I just taught to shoot a bow. She is awesome. As long as I can remember, I have been in the woods hunting something. As kids, my brother and I were dad's bird dogs while dove hunting, rabbit dogs during rabbit season and blood hounds during deer season. In the early years I learned to respect and love the outdoors. Growing up this way has created in me an extreme passion/obsession (depends on how you look at it) for the outdoors and hunting. I am thrilled I get to share my passion with y'all. Over the next few months, I will show y'all a crazy southern boy's POV of GOD's wild outdoors and a few tips and tricks I've pick up over the years. I LOVE THIS STUFF! God Bless, Michael Lafitte

I was born and raised in North Western Pennsylvania, but I currently live in Southern New Jersey. I hunt ducks and geese with my Lab, upland birds with my English Springers, turkeys and deer. I volunteer with various organizations to pass on the outdoor traditions to children. Other things I enjoy doing are crabbing, bass fishing, surf fishing, kayaking and any other outdoor activities.

Greg Reed

My name is Greg Reed I am married with 3 children and seven grandchildren. I took early retirement and now I am an amateur videographer. I film weddings, church plays. ect. I have been bowhunting since 1968. I'll stop when I take my last breath. It's a great time to be in the woods.

Jordan Fite

My name is Jordan Fite. I started hunting at the age of 10 and bow hunting at the age of 14. I have been glued to the sport from the very begging. I grew up in Carlinville Illinois where most of my hunting was done. I soon joined the Army out of High School and have been working hard for 4 years now. It has blessed me with the opportunity to hunt in Kentucky and Tennessee as well as my home state of Illinois. I have the tendency to hunt whatever comes in to season where I am. There is no such think as learning to much. I wise man once said, "The more you know, the more you realize you don't know". Living in Clarksville Tennessee, I have my lovely wife and daughter to keep me company. One thing I learned, in my short time on earth, is that you never know when your next day will be your last. Therefore, I live everyday to the fullest and like there is no tomorrow. I am always open to questions and advice. If anyone ever needs a hand just look me up and I will do my best to help you out. Until next time, kill 'em, kill 'em all."

Mitchel Edwards

I started hunting when I was 4 or 5 with small game. I was 12 the first time I hunted Whitetails. I deer hunted for 4 years with a rifle before I got into bow hunting, now I wish I would have started sooner. Whitetails are my passion now. By the end of the season I am glad it is over and 3 days later I wish I was still in the woods. For me deer season starts in the spring with shed hunting and all summer long I scout, set out salt and mineral blocks and hang stands. It’s in my blood, I’m not sure what I would do with out it.

Trevor Smith

Hello, my name is Trevor Smith, I am from Wayton, Arkansas. I am a Christian/Outdoorsman and very thankful to be able to enjoy one of god's greatest gifts "the outdoors". I love to hunt, especially bow hunt, there's just nothing like it. I love getting the younger people into the outdoors and am thankful that I was able to start hunting and appreciating gods gift at an early age. I started hunting with my dad and my grandfather around 4 or 5, hunting squirrels and deer with hounds. When I turned 12 a friend gave me a bow and started my new passion bow hunting. I have competed and won several archery tournaments and I have taken a few deer with my Bowtech Tribute. I love to hunt anything and everything from squirrel to bear, I hunt them all. I especially love doing a little predator hunting in my off time and calling in long beards in the spring time.I am a member of NRA and many other organizations and stand for our god given rights as hunters. I am very thankful and excited to be a field staff member of Ike's outdoors. I hope that I can bring some awesome footage for you all to see this year and as always god bless. -Trevor
