Aric Hein
For most of us hunting is a passion, for Aric Hein it's simply his life. Growing up in Northern Missouri on the family farm Aric took to the fields and woods at an early age, eagerly wanting to learn more about wildlife and how to make their land better for hunting. Putting his degree from the University of Missouri College of Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources to good use, Aric has now helped many farmers and ranchers develop habitat improvements for their land.
To get a better understanding of the game he pursued, Aric soon became an accomplished photographer and videographer by capturing hours of footage during his hunts. He has donated his time and expertise and brings to life, all of our outdoor adventures by running camera and co-hosting the G3 Sportsman. He is a welcome addition to the family and will teach us all how to become more successful in the field.

An accomplished tournament angler as well, Rick has captured several tournament wins and seems to most always be in the money fishing circuits such as the BFL, Central Pro Am, and the Best of the Best.
A show favorite, Rick not only brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise on fishing but his cheerful attitude makes for a fun day on the lake.
