Gadget Bob:

Bob grew up in western Indiana hunting groundhogs and fishing for bass and panfish from an early age.  In those years, crows were not as numerous in the area but they would respond to his questionable mouth calling and the old timey paper marche' decoys that he employed as a schoolboy over a Winchester Model 12 in 20 gauge.  He attended and graduated from Indiana State University with a basketball legend - Larry Bird - before moving to Texas in 1977 to start a career in accounting and marry his college sweetheart.  Thirty plus years later with 3 grown kids, he is still happily married to the same wonderful gal and works for the same company!

Bob enjoys chasing varmints, precision target shooting and tennis. He has 'cultivated' many wonderful friendships with local farmers, orchard men and ranchers through his pest elimination efforts.  He gained the nickname "Gadget Bob" from good friend he shot sporting clays with for many years, as Bob was known to invest in any 'gadget' that might improve his scoring.  He takes that same approach with crow hunting using innovations such as "Hot Sticks" for decoy placement, portable turntables for improving ecalling and variety of "flapping" decoys to fool our worthy foes.

Bob holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Indiana State University and has been a licensed CPA in Texas since 1982.  He belongs to many related professional organizations including the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  He is the Client Service Manager for tax workflow automation tools for a global leader in information & automated solutions for accounting, tax and legal needs with offices in Carrollton.  In addition to that role, Bob is also a Pro Staffer for Hornady ammunition and reloading equipment at Cabela's in north Texas.
