Hey! I’m Brian Belko, an enthusiastic freelance writer and blogger with a deep-rooted passion for outdoor recreation, shooting sports, and wildlife conservation. My desire to explore and learn about nature led me to pursue a degree in Environmental Science, which I use to deepen my understanding of my main focus and to reveal a different facet of it to others. My mission is to provide honest, well-researched insights that empower you to make informed decisions and develop a genuine connection with nature.
From a young age, I’ve been captivated by the wilderness and the lessons it had to teach. I had the privilege of learning invaluable lessons from seasoned mentors. This background has fueled my love for fishing, hunting, and hiking. As a writer, it’s a blast sharing my escapades with fellow adventure-seekers like you.
You might have stumbled upon my work on platforms such as Wide Open Spaces, where I focus more on topics revolving the outdoors, whereas at Barret Rifles, I write about hunting and firearms. I’m also on the Pro Staff at Military Hunting and Fishing. I believe it’s essential to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and breakthroughs in the industry, and I make it a point to do so.
As a writer, my top priority is to maintain your trust by being transparent and impartial. I understand the importance of honesty, so rest assured, I will always disclose any affiliations or sponsorships and assess products and services based on their true merits rather than personal benefits.
When I find myself not busy writing, I actively participate in conservation endeavors and volunteer at local wildlife rehabilitation centers. And in my free time, I also spend my time fishing farm ponds for bass and hitting the spring woods during turkey season.
My goal is to inspire others to develop a deeper connection with nature and to safeguard and preserve it for generations to come, and I believe that sharing my knowledge and experiences is an excellent way to do so. Whether it’s through my writing or volunteer work, I hope to make a positive impact and encourage others to cherish our natural world and hunt responsibly.
