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.

WILDLIFE WENDY and her Tropical Birds

"Wildlife” Wendy Horton is a professional animal trainer based in Los Angeles, CA.  Since 1990, Wendy has been working with a variety of exotic animals such as marine mammals, big cats, primates, hoofstock, reptiles and birds. An Ohio native, Wendy first aspired to become a News Reporter and was anchoring the morning news in Bucyrus, Ohio at the age of 20!  Extensive feature reporting about animals led Wendy to become a dolphin handler and performer at Cedar Point’s Oceana Show in Ohio.

 Wendy was then accepted to the highly acclaimed America's Teaching Zoo at Moorpark College in Southern California. She earned her certificate in exotic animal training and management specializing in wildlife education.  Wendy continued performing in animal shows across the country including California’s Six Flags Magic Mountain and Six Flags New England.  In addition to performing, Wendy has trained exotic and domestic species for the television and film industry including the feature film "Being John Malkovich", TV shows such as "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", "Ellen", "Donny & Marie", "Howie Mandel", Disney’s "Even Steven's", Nickelodeon’s "Unleashed", Animal Planet's "Pet Star" as well as Geico, GMC and Petco commercials.
