Michael H. Reed
Mike is from Hawthorne, NV - a small town 140 miles southeast of Reno. He graduated from Mineral Co. High School in 2000. Mike has sharpened his hunting and calling skills over the past 11 years hunting Walker Lake. This large lake is located directly 10 miles north of Hawthorne. At the age of 13, Mike was introduced to the world of Waterfowling. Since the first time he saw shimmering wings in the early morning horizon, he knew his life was going to be different than most. Since that moment, the passion for Waterfowling entered his bloodstream and he never looked back. Mike has hunted anything from rock islands for divers and passing puddle ducks to the cold north riverbed for ducks, geese, crows, and an occasional coyote. Unfortunately in the last 8 years the water level of the lake has receded numerous times forcing Mike and the ducks to find new ways to elude each other.

You can find Mike in the Cherry Valley located 20 miles east of Seattle, WA. Mike has been hard at work finding new "Hot Spots" and painting dekes for the upcoming season. Mike's preferred hunting location is private land. It doesn't matter if it is in a field, a pond, or timber, Mike would rather be where the crowds aren't. But he fully understands what it takes to get the birds in unfamiliar areas. The plans and goals Mike has set out to accomplish are obtainable but will require hard work, dedication and an open mind. He has and always will approach the hunting industry like he has nothing to lose.

He agrees with Fred Zink completely - "If you want something in life, you just have to go for it."
