What's Your Why?

By: Stephen Heywood

My why for being a part of No Boundaries Outdoors and enjoying the outdoors is because of my kids. Honestly I got back into the outdoors, fishing, and then hunting because of my kids. My daughter at 3 years old asked me if we could go fishing. Up until this point I hadn't fished in 10 years. Between college, getting married, starting a life, I didn't have time.

Then when my son was born, I wanted to teach him how to hunt. I didn't want him to experience the problems I did when I started. I didn't have a teacher. I had friends like Drew, who would give me advice and help, but I had to figure it all out by myself. I had to make the mistakes myself. I want to be able to pass this on to my kids and show there are No Boundaries with the outdoors. With my passion in social media, networking, and video, I wanted to bring that aspect to the outdoors.

That's what gets me up every day, keeping me going. Seeing my kids have wall hanging fish at such an early age, gives me a sense of accomplishment that I’ve showed them not only how to catch fish, but BIG fish. Next will be wall hanging deer! Having something everyone can be proud of and take ownership of.
