Simon G

Simon grew up in France in the Landes countryside region. He always enjoyed spending time outdoors. His father introduced him to hunting at an early age. Hunting is a family way of life for his family for generations.

Simon started hunting at an early age for wood pigeons in net (tradition form of hunting in the south-west region of France). He was hooked after that, and hunting became part of his life. At the age of 16, Simon discovered big game for deer species hunting them by the various style of methods normally used in France and later for game birds with dogs that helped expand his knowledge and skills.

Simon followed a school path related to his lifestyle. He studied and earned a degree in Natural Environment and Wildlife Management and is currently in his first year of Nature Management. He is also a communal private game warden in his village.

For Simon, hunting is not simply a matter of shooting and squeezing the trigger, it is the overall understanding of the environment and protection of the fauna and flora that should be the most important for any hunters and conservationist. Understanding how to maintain the balance of the natural habitat and implementing necessary resources and protection protocols is of utmost important for all future generations to enjoy.

We welcome Simon to our pro team program as a representative of our brand in the region of France. His passion and knowledge will be instrumental in ensuring we expand our footprint into the conservational interest within the hunting industry in this part of France.
