About Us

There was nothing unusual about us, a typical, sometimes dysfunctional family. We lived about three miles north of a small town in North Eastern Texas.

I grew up living between my grandparent's. I could walk a hundred yards to my Grand-Dad's home; turn an equal distance to go to my Mom-Buck's.

Relatives are still scattered up and down that beautiful old country road.

From an early age I hunted and fished.
Grand-Dad taught me to fish. Dad taught me to hunt quail, squirrel, and a little about deer.
The whole family taught me to respect people, property, guns, and living things. Even as a kid I can remember passing up shots on song-birds.
I hunted everything, first with a BB gun, and later with a .22.

I didn't want to read at school, but read the outdoor magazines.
I wanted to be like Jack O'Connor a then popular gun-writer for "Outdoor Life" magazine.


Air Force

My graduation, 1965. The Vietnam War was going strong; I joined the Air Force. In the Air Force I became interested in photography.

It became about 'us' at my last duty in Western Oklahoma. There I met my wife, Sharon. After my discharge we both attended SWOSU. I dropped out to be a professional photographer for the next 20 years. (I took almost all of this site's pictures.)

My wife got sick and I had to teach her 4th grade bible-school class. I liked teaching young kids! Back to college and I became a fourth grade school teacher. I've worked with women and kids for over 20 years. That makes me an expert with wildlife!

The beginning of "score-your-hunting".

Thinking about us, our future, I started looking for something to do when I retire. I was thinking about us, Sharon and I, but I wanted something important to me.

Surprisingly, an idea started when a hunter told me about taking his trophy deer. He told about going to a hunting ranch where he was "wined and dined", then he was driven out to a stand where he sat until 'his' big deer came to a feeder.

I didn't say much, but it resonated with me! Why would a skilled hunter want to kill a deer that way? I realized how some are obsessed with getting a big deer; it troubled me.

Sun and lake "Score-Your-Hunting" came slowly. I thought about a club first. "Score-Your-Hunting" could become an organized club someday.

A website seemed to make sense, but my thoughts ran into each other: I don't know anything about making a website! I do know photography, hunting, guns, optics... I'm not a good writer!
I was excited, but not very confident!

This is an important point: I quickly found that anyone can make a website for very little money. But, most of them are invisible, lost among the millions of websites on the internet.

I'm thankful I found SBI, "Site Build It".
I could have started with one of those free site building programs.
Common sense told me that something was not right about them.

Building a website takes a considerable amount of work. I understand today that I would have wasted my time and built something for them.
Learn a little about how the web works before you start.

With SBI I'm building my website and it works. Score-Your-Hunting has good, honest, growing traffic. It has become an important part of my life. But, enough about us, I'm already sold on SBI.

You've heard this before: but if I can, you can! What you've been reading here, about us. I write what I know about, what I care about, what I'm interested in. You can do that! Learn more by watching the video below.

Disclosure: Yes! I get paid! I would tell you for free, but I like getting paid! Please us my links to SBI, if you sigh-up it cost you the same, but I make a commission that way.

I also get paid when you click on the Google adds. Some other links may help to promote this website in a small way. There are lots of ways to make money. You can do the same, or more, with your own SBI website.

New! You can now purchase SBI for only $29.99 per. month.

Also new: An SBI page, but you may not understand the benefits until you know more about how the web works. Trust me, it's great: 2.0 Wow!
