Joe's passion for the outdoors can be seen in his lifelong commitment to excellence. Joe earned a Bachelors of Science in Biology/Ecology and immediately put what he learned in the classroom to practice. Joe has spent the past fifteen years in the outdoor guide service profession. First as an apprentice, then as owner and operator of the Midwests premiere whitetail destination Tall Tine Outfitters, Inc. in Roodhouse, Illinois. TTOs properties have spread across Greene, Scott, Morgan, Jersey and Macoupin counties. Joes knowledge of whitetails and their habitat is widely sought. Countless television shows have been filmed on Joe's managed properties and he has been featured in publications like Outdoor Life, Bow & Arrow Hunting and Petersens Bowhunting. His unique management techniques are considered pilot programs by most in the whitetail game. A master at managing properties, Joes intimate knowledge of different habitats and their biodiversity, both academic and real-world, have led him to create sanctuaries rich with world-class whitetails.
