Grant (The Butcher) BurwashProstaff

Spending the first 14 years of his life in rural Manitoba, Grant began hunting and fishing with his father at an early age. Moving to Alberta gave him the opportunity to hunt and fly-fish the beautiful foot hills of the Rocky Mountains. He has also been blessed with the opportunity to hunt in South Africa.

Leading up to the hunting season he spends lots of time hand loading, shooting, and doing load development for various caliber rifles at his local gun range where he also sits as a director.

He is proudly serving as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces; currently serving with the Canadian Rangers.

Some of the most fun he has is just being a Dad and teaching his son about being out on the land.

Nick (Tailgate) TaylorProstaff

Nick took up hunting, fishing and practicing archery at an early age in Salisbury, New Brunswick.

He moves to Alberta in 2006 and quickly fell in love with the Alberta outdoors and hunting scene with all that it has to offer.

Nick moved to Parkland County in 2008 and got back into archery and started bow hunting. He loves to hunt the Edmonton Bow Zone as it presents a variety of hunts in some nasty conditions.

With a background in art Nick has taken up the art of taxidermy and is looking to soon open his own shop specializing in big game and birds.

Alvin LawlessProstaff

Alvin grew up in Newfoundland, where living off the land and ocean was a way of life for him and his family. After graduating college with a diploma in Natural Resources Technology, he headed west to Alberta. It didn’t take him long to realize how diverse Alberta’s wildlife was and the abundance of different hunts that were available. A few years ago Alvin took up Bow Hunting for the first time and immediately fell in love and hasn’t looked back since. Rest assured, during the bow hunting season he can be found sitting in a tree stand or ground blind somewhere in the Edmonton Bow Zone! Alvin is a proud member of the Alberta Bowhunters Association and also a member of the Parkland Bowbenders archery club.

Kyle recently joined the Parkland Outdoors team as he reached his twelfth birthday, passed his hunter training course and got his first animal in the 2017 season. He’s accompanied his dad and grandpa on many hunts and has shown tremendous excitement for the hunt.

He’s not shy for the camera and is very entertaining to watch.

Luke MorrisFuture Junior Prostaff

Since he was old enough to walk Luke loved being outdoors for hunting, fishing and camping. He loves hunting with his dad and can’t wait until he is old enough to go after his first deer. While not shy of the camera, he is quick to point out that he will get bigger and better animals than his Dad.
