Alex Wessels is a hunter across the globe

I am from the southeast part of Nebraska and have lived here my entire life. I am from a small town of 1,000 people and grew up hunting and fishing. I went to an even smaller town (500) to attend college and graduated with a degree in Business Administration. Most recently I obtained my MBA in 2020.

 I have worked at a bank for 9 years in IT and have been married to my wife since 2017. We have a 2 and a half-year-old daughter and two labs.

I first started hunting at the age of 6 when my dad took me teal hunting for the first time. I remember setting all of my clothes out and packing lunch the night before. We got to the blind and he handed me my first duck call.

I have many hunting stories to share and work with specific PHs inn Africa. Reach out to me to chat about you global bucket list hunts.

Bruce's outdoor journey began in the hardwoods and streams of Rhode Island hunting squirrels, rabbits, ruffed grouse and fishing for brook trout and bass. He moved to Long Island and surfed fish for strippers and blues along the Atlantic coast.

It wasn't until he went to college in Wisconsin that he found his passion, Whitetail deer. 1966 was his first whitetail hunt and he has never looked back. His fly fishing and hunting adventures have taken him from Ungava Bay to Lake Illiamna, most of the Canadian Provinces and the whitetail states of the Midwest. His hunting articles can be found at Eastman's Hunting Journal, Hunting Life Media, GoHunt.com and GOABC. His intimate knowledge of big game hunting in the Rockies allowed him to be an Insider contributor for goHunt.com.
He has served on nationally known conservation boards, is a Life Member of RMBS, WSF, RMEF and NRA. He was elected to serve as a SE Regional member of the Colorado Sportsman's Roundtable.
He is recognized in the whitetail world as the very successful outdoor communicator and influencer as Host, Executive Director, and Co-Founder of the highly acclaim podcast, Whitetail Rendezvous Podcast. This podcast has exceeded over 500,000 downloads and interviewed over 650 guests. During the summer of 2019 Bruce created and published Deer Hunting Institute, Part 1.
