Kerry Wix

Kerry grew up in Tennessee 40 miles north of Nashville. There he was introduced to hunting and fishing by his father and grandfather at an early age. Deer and ducks were the primary game they pursued. There weren’t many turkeys in the area when Kerry was a boy, but he became fascinated with the birds while watching tapes and TV shows featuring turkey hunts. He says he’ll never forget the first time he heard a gobbler in the woods one morning and eventually bagged his first wild turkey at the age of 14 all by himself. It was an experience that hooked him on turkey hunting for life and inspired him to study the birds and perfect his calling techniques. 

Kerry says he’s blessed to have been able to make a living in the outdoor industry as a photographer and videographer over the last 17 years. The experience has allowed him to work with some of the biggest names in the outdoor industry, including some of the people he idolized as a boy. His work has appeared in venerated outdoor publications such as Field & Stream and Outdoor Life. 

While Kerry still enjoys deer and waterfowl hunting, the turkey season is what he looks forward to most. When he’s not hunting in the woods with his trusted Benelli, he’s taking shots with his camera and lenses.
