Growing up in rural southern Utah, the outdoors and hunting have been an integral part of Trail’s life from a very early age. In his own words, “I love everything about hunting, the research, planning, preparation, gear, adventure, peace, challenge and sense of accomplishment it provides.” “There is nothing like it, it's all consuming for me.” Trail has hunted almost every state in the west and Alaska and continues to apply and research every opportunity to explore and hunt more each year.
