Hello, my name is Mike Ahlman. I was born and raised in Northern Illinois and lived there for over 45 years. In 2014 my family moved to Central Texas. My passion is for hunting and the outdoors. This passion was passed down from my father, who was the first one in his family to start hunting, to myself and my brother. In turn, I passed that passion down to my children and, hopefully, to their children. I am an avid Whitetail Deer hunter, trapper, duck hunter, and overall outdoorsman. I made a living in carpentry and firefighting working in both for over 30 years each and still continue to work as a Fire Chief in Central Texas.
