Chris Leone
Chris is 23 years old and was born and raised in Meadville, PA. Chris was first introduced to hunting by his dad chasing Whitetails in the woods of Crawford county. From then on, hunting and the outdoors has been a passion or Chris. During high school, Chris had to find time between his high school hockey schedule and homework to get out in the woods. He says that in high school hockey was life, and hunting was a bonus. In the fall, he would be found in a treestand in the after school hours and in the spring, he was chasing turkeys in the early hours of the morning. None of his family spring turkey hunts so Chris taught himself how to call and through harsh experience, created an understanding of wild turkeys.

After high school, Chris attended Slippery Rock University, where he continued to play ice hockey for the SRU Division 1 team. He had a lot more time to hunt and became a very successful turkey hunter. Spring turkey hunting is his true passion. That love for spring turkey hunting, has led him to hunt many states for the challenging birds including, PA, OH, TN and MS. In his third year of school, he met his fiancé Katie. Since then, Chris and Katie have hunted everything from deer to waterfowl and have been very successful. Chris enjoys sharing a blind or a treestand with his fiancé and also his family members. He says that Katie has become his best hunting buddy. When not chasing turkeys or waterfowl, Chris spends his time bowhunting and playing in hockey leagues with his younger brother.

Chris enjoys taking other hunters out and introducing them to new kinds of hunting. He has helped people fill their first turkey and deer tags and limits of ducks and geese. He is a member of the Wolf Creek Longbeards chapter of the NWTF, Ducks Unlimited and the NRA.
