Mark Brendemuehl was introduced to the outdoors as a toddler when he began tagging along with his dad on trout fishing trips.  Next came the afternoon hunting trips where, while struggling to keep up with his elders, he learned to hunt rabbits, squirrels, and grouse.  As he grew older, pheasants and whitetails were added to Mark's targeted game list, and he eventually evolved into bow hinting as well, competing in 3-D archery tournaments.

Waterfowl hunting in Mark's home area of Wisconsin was not popular when he was young because migratory bird numbers were down making place to hunt very hard to come by. Once Canada Goose hunt on Wisconsin's famous Horicon March, however, hooked mark on goose hunting for life.
