Michael V. Furia

Michael was born and raised in upstate New York. Introduced to hunting at an early age by his father. Michael developed a passion for the outdoors that was like no other. Spending most of his spare time in the outdoors as a child, Michael would tag along with his father learning how hunt deer, turkey, and rabbits. He also began filming deer and turkey hunts with his father at an early age.

It wasn't until Michael turned twelve years old before he was introduced to waterfowl hunting by a close friend of his father's. Waterfowl hunting would soon become an obsession for Michael. He would spend countless hours in the field practicing his calling or reading up on new ways to successfully harvest both ducks and geese. For Michael there is no better thrill then calling in a flock of ducks or geese or just observing them during the migration.

Michael is twenty years old and attends college for Fire Protection Technologies. He currently works for Gander Mountain as a Sales Associate in both the hunting and fishing departments. This allows him to become familiar with new products and expand his knowledge of the outdoor industry on a daily basis. After hunting season ends, Michael can be found alongside the Lake Ontario tributaries fishing for steelhead, ice fishing the Finger Lakes, or giving waterfowl hunting seminars. He believes that there are always lessons to be learned every time a hunter goes afield; this is what fuels his passion for the outdoors.
