 With over fifteen years and thousands of hours chasing whitetails, Shane has been very fortunate in taking eleven animals that make the Pope and Young minimum. At the early age of sixteen, Shane was only interested in trophy class bucks. Early in his hunting career, he absorbed anything and everything he could that would teach him how to hunt mature Whitetail deer. Shane has used this knowledge to outsmart some of his best deer, three that push the 170 mark. His favorite buck to date is a 155 class eight with four or five sticker points. Shane found the buck in early June. With studying topo maps, monitoring the buck's movement from a distance, and using his knowledge from past encounters, he was able to arrow the buck on opening morning of Illinois early bow season.

Shane was also very fortunate to take this knowledge to a higher level in February of 2003. Packing everything he owned and heading West, he had landed a job with the top Bow manufacturer in the world, Precision Shooting Equipment (PSE) located in Tucson, Arizona. Shane started in the Marketing Department doing catalog design, logos, and ad layout. Soon after, he moved over to help in the Video Department. There he was once again blessed with trips all over the world (British Columbia, Africa, and Australia to name a few) to shoot video for PSE's "Today's Bow Hunter" television show that runs on the Outdoor Channel. Shane occasionally was asked to use his hunting skills on camera for the show, and can be seen on a couple of PSE's famous DVDs like "Whitetail Fever 4".
