My name is Zach Davies. I live in Gardnerville NV at home with my dad, mom, and brother. I am currently attending Douglas high as a sophomore and play for the junior varsity baseball team. I have been an avid waterfowler for about six years now. My dad introduced me to this sport when I was eight years old and I absolutely fell in love with it. This last season while hunting with the cast from The Bird Men, I shot my first banded mallard. This was a hunt of a life time not only due to all the birds we harvested, but the time spent in the outdoors with my buddies. During the off season, I spend the majority of my time in the outdoors camping and fishing with friends and family.  Hannah Isbister was born on June 9, 1998.
