Jason was born and raised in Southern Indiana and grew up hunting whitetail deer in the corn belt of the Midwest. Throughout my teenage years, I was a full-blown deer hunter, using every weapon imaginable chasing the elusive trophies of the Midwest. Fishing was also a big part of my early years thanks to my father who carried me along on many fishing trips to farm ponds and small impoundments.
Bass fishing also became an addiction of mine causing me to pursue more and more knowledge which enabled me to get into tournament fishing once I ended up in Tennessee. Moving to Tennessee when my parents were relocated was a blessing in disguise. Tennessee is loaded with all sorts of hunting and fishing opportunities. After settling down, I got into tournament fishing, which really got my outdoor career in motion.
Fishing tournaments all over the midsouth helped me get into the outdoor field, where I promoted several companies, doing shows, guiding and doing seminars. Fishing is a passion of mine, and still is to this day. When I am not Waterfowling, you can find me in local tournaments trying to catch big stringers of largemouth. Representing the following companies: Bumble Bee Boats, Mercury Outboards, and Touchdown Worms, it gave me a jumpstart into the outdoor writing world, in which I focus on today.
With my lovely wife Kim, and my sons Devin and Oakley, my whole family shares in the outdoor experience of Tennessee. They all like to hunt and fish, which is what all fathers want and I am thankful for that.
Waterfowling came into the picture about 10 years ago, and I have not been the same ever since. Hunting Kentucky Lake and Reelfoot with my boys is what I look forward to every year, they are hard-core duck hunters and I have trouble just keeping up with them.
I am currently on pro staff's for: Buck Gardner, Quest Outdoors, Wad Wizard, McCoy Fishing Line, Fish Formula and Drake Waterfowl. Outdoor Writing takes up the majority of my time now, I am always on the road looking for new story ideas and guiding on a part time basis for Quest Outdoors for waterfowl and also take several clients out every year for largemouth bass.
My specialties are definitely bass fishing and waterfowl. Being an outdoor writer really has been the best of both worlds, hunting and fishing and being able to write about it. I write for the following publications: West Tennessee Outdoors, Sportsmen's Digest, Midsouth Hunting and Fishing, and Calling Ducks.com. Jason is 33 years old and currently resides in Jackson TN; he can be reached at pattersonoutdoors@charter.net.
