Bill Lawson Bio:

Bill Lawson was born and still resides in Kissimmee Florida. He was raised hunting and fishing on his families 8,000-acre ranch. Bill shot his first buck at age 12 that scored in the mid 130s. Hunting has always been extremely important part of his life. After graduating High School and attending Valencia Community College. He began managing the family ranch. Bill managed the cattle, citrus, and sod operations on the ranch. A tremendous amount of effort and pride went into running their ranch. The quality of cattle, sod and citrus were a reflection of Bill and his Dads attention to detail. Due to the level of nutrition available to their cattle herd there was no shortage of wildlife on the ranch.

At an early age Bill recognized the need to implement some management strategies. He recognized that they had some herd management issues with too many does and not the quality of bucks he hoped to have. After five years of thinning does and culling bucks. Along with focused efforts to provide high protein nutrition for their deer herd. The ranch had begun to achieve their desired buck to doe ratio and the quality bucks (both antler / body size) anyone would be proud to harvest. From 1990 to 1999 an average of 3 to 4 bucks would be harvested a year that would score above 130 Boone and Crockett. This is almost unheard of so far south in Florida, where the average deer weighs 120 lbs. It was not uncommon to see 200lb. deer harvested.

Over the past five years Bill has become an avid bow hunter. He and his business partner, Brian Stephens, have hunted together for many years in the Southeast and Illinois. Bill brings a great deal of knowledge to Stick'em Archery through his first hand experience of implementing management strategies, and over twenty years of hunting experience. Bill also has over ten years of experience in the Telecom industry. He has worked with MCI world com, and Embarq managing multiple responsibilities and projects.
