Introduction:
Ian Gibson loved hunting. He had grown up hunting in the woods with his father, and there was nothing he liked more than packing up his gear for a new adventure. After some soul searching, Gibson finally had his chance to take his hunting game to the next level. Instead of scouring the backwoods for game, he was going to start big game hunting.
To support his dream, Gibson developed his real estate business and sold houses. When the real estate market collapsed in his area, he needed another way to fund his big game hunting.
