Collin Dent from Ell-Saline has loved being an outdoorsmen from a very young age.
“Growing up, my parents took my brother and I hunting, fishing, riding horses, working cattle, etc.” Dent said. “We also traveled on trips to Montana to see my mom’s family and I would hunt and fish there, too.”
“I can remember sitting in hunting blinds when I was three or four years old.”
Dent hunts and fishes all sorts of types of game and fish.
“I love to hunt deer and have recently started doing more coyote night hunting,” Dent said. “I also like fishing and have been bass fishing in our family and friends’ ponds.”
There are no words for Dent and how he feels when he is outside.
“I truly enjoy being outside,” Dent said. “The thrill of a good hunt, especially when you’ve had a big deer on camera and it shows up during season, is indescribable.”
Aside from hunting and fishing, Dent also enjoys rodeoing.
“It is an outlet for me that no other sport provides,” Dent said. “I have so much fun competing at the high school and amateur level. I hope to continue hunting, fishing and riding horses well into my later years.”
