2023 HUNTING SEMINAR SPEAKER
TODD AMENRUD
Todd Amenrud is a full time sportsman whose job keeps him in the outdoors much of the year. His passion is bowhunting for mature whitetail bucks and he spends considerable time researching, studying and learning about them. He also hunts other big game, turkey and waterfowl throughout the country. Todd passes on the knowledge that he has acquired through television, radio, writing, social media, and his well-reviewed seminars.
Todd has written four books and co-authored two others on the subject of whitetails and whitetail hunting. It’s important to Todd that his books be appealing to the serious whitetail hunter. He is especially proud of the great reviews he has received from wildlife biologists, whitetail "nuts" and "hard-core" bowhunters.
