The Twins were 18-0 when he was in attendance, including a win last season on his 22nd birthday. Bryon loved hunting. One of the biggest weekends of the year was the opening of deer season, during which he traveled to the Forstner cabin to hunt with his dad, brothers, uncle Gary and many cousins. He was able to win bragging rights of "Biggest Buck" several times in his short time with us on the hunt. Bryon loved to travel, his favorite trip was to Hawaii this past January, nearly having to drag him onto the plane to leave. He also loved the cabin and camping with family including his trips to the Preston area with his cousins and aunt Kim.
