When he was four or five years old, Ellsworth’s Carson Jacob knew he was going to be passionate about the outdoors.
“My mom and I were always doing something outside whether it was going fishing, hunting or going out to the lake,” Jacob said.
Jacob’s interests in the outdoors vary and are wide-ranging.
“Bow hunting is probably my favorite hunting activity,” Jacob said. “I enjoy practicing with my bow in the off season. I like catching all types of fish, whether we’re at a lake, river or pond it’s all fun. We visit Wilson Lake quite a bit since it is fairly close and great scenery, enjoy taking our dogs hiking the trails and swimming as well.”
One of Jacob’s favorite memories was a fishing trip he went on, which resulted in a big catch.
“I got to go on a guided fishing trip at Milford Lake with Cross Creek Outdoors and we were catching fish after fish every single cast you were catching a fish,” Jacob said. “I also caught a 40-pound catfish on that trip too.”
Getting to spend times in the outdoors allows Jacob to reset himself mentally.
“We like to go to the lake at least once a week,” Jacob said. “For me it allows me to have a mini vacation where I can get away for a couple hours just so I can set my mind right.”
