My name is Zach Haas, I grew up in and around Wisconsin my whole life. I currently live in Rosendale, WI with my beautiful wife Hailey Haas and my wonderful son Wyatt. I grew up on a small horse farm in the country with my parents on the outskirts of Eden, Wisconsin. I graduated from UW-Stevens Point in 2011 where I obtained a bachelor degree in biology and water resources. I used my degree to become the Senior Aquatic Biologist at Wisconsin Lake & Pond Resource LLC, which is a private pond and lake consulting firm based in Eldorado, Wisconsin. My hobbies are hunting fishing, fourwheeling, trapshooting, indoor/outdoor archery, forestry, teach hunter safety, and of course LAND MANAGEMENT!
Growing up I always was a country boy and outdoorsman at heart. My father, Dan Haas, got me into hunting at a very early age. He took me everywhere when he was heading out to do some type of outdoor activity. Whether it was baiting for bear, setting up bow/gun stands for deer, calling in a big gobbler, reeling in big bass and bluegills, or just taking me out to shoot a couple rabbits and squirrels, I learned a lot from him. As soon as I legally could hunt at age twelve I was in the woods. Throughout my hunting career I have had many mentors, but above all my dad has taught me the most in regards to hunting, fishing, and being a conservationist.
Taking this passion of hunting I took it one step further and started to learn the processes involved in managing a deer herd. From my classes at UW-Stevens Point, my QDMA Class 1 stewardship course, and other land management professionals I began to fine tune the process to holding bigger and healthier deer and turkeys. Unlike many land managers, I had found a niche and was able to take a wide range of wildlife biology, aquatic biology, and land management into the planning of client's property through my business CreekBottom Land Management. Based off research, experience, and teachings I help improve client's land to the quality that they always dreamed of having.
To go further into my drive into the hunting industry it all began when I was about fifteen years old. My brother in law, Seth Gade, and I started messing around with my mom's home video recorder. We loved going out and taping wildlife. Even tough in the early years we were usually unsuccessful, we loved just being out and recording our hunts and bloopers. It all escalated from there when we got our very first digital video recorder. Everything started to fall in place, and we decided to go to the next level and start our own show. Through our television show I want to show everybody out there that hunting isn't just about shooting that huge buck every time. If you shoot a mediocre buck, but are proud of it, then you shouldn't look down on yourself but rather enjoy the opportunity and learn on how to improve your success through proper deer and land management practices. The enjoyment you get out of the sport and the fun you have with your hunting and fishing friends is the best part about being in the outdoors and I want to make that our focus to our viewers and fans!
