I am Dylan R Ainsworth and I aspire to be a full-time hunter. I love videography and film all my hunts. I recently made a step toward my dream by signing on to represent Mossy Oak brand camouflage as a Pro-Staffer. I consider myself a decent outdoorsman and I’m in the woods all year round stalking a variety of species, but if I’m going to be an Elite Staffer someday I need to seriously step-up my game.Working a full-time job is more than mandatory for a twenty-five year old married father of two. The remainder of the week is usually filled with Quality Time with the wife and kids, household duties and maintenance, grocery shopping, and sleeping. (personal hygiene is not on the list, there is rarely time for it) You may be asking yourself, “How can someone with this lifestyle build a career in outdoor entertainment, much less find even one weekend to hunt to the opener?”. At least that is what I’ve been asking myself lately, so I did some math. If my calculator is calibrated correctly there are 168 hours in a week’s time After the 40-50 hours put in at whatever position it is that pays the bills and another 40 sleeping (if you can wake up after 6hrs) There are approximately 81 hours remaining. That boils down to close to 3 ½ days. Now I realize that these 81 hours are sporadically divided up amongst many days, and that there are not always 48 or even 24 hour stretches in a given week, but there is definitely plenty of time in there somewhere. Besides quality time with the family is best spent in the great outdoors… and who needs sleep anyway.

I made a pledge: To venture into the forest and fields one day each week for the next year.

 

I may only make it out a few hours each week, but in each opportunity, no matter how short, there is something to be learned. Through my mission I hope have a chance to scout new areas, learn more about my current hunting spots, bring my daughters out more, and increase my knowledge and woodmanship skills.

Will I make 52? Or will the pressures of home and work over power my Obsession? Will my wife keep her sanity?I invite all to follow

me in my quest: DAY ONE coming soon…..as soon as I find time.
