Über uns
My name is Markus Fröba and I created The Royal Hunting Blog as a resource to give average hunters the straight scoop and help them make the most of their time afield
My father and grandfather started taking me hunting in the woods of east Texas when I was just 3 years old. While I greatly enjoyed those experiences and treasure those memories, I never dreamed I would go into the hunting industry as a career.
Many of my family members served in the military and I wanted to follow in their footsteps and serve my country with a career in the military.
I graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point and served in the US Army for over 10 years. During that time, I deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan and served as a Tank Platoon Leader, Mortar Platoon Leader, Brigade Plans Officer, Cavalry Troop Commander, Officer Candidate School Instructor, and Battalion Operations Officer. I had the privilege of serving alongside some incredible men and women, travelled to some interesting and unique places, and had some amazing experiences.
While I greatly enjoyed my time in the Army, I knew I needed a change when I returned home from my deployment to Afghanistan. I originally started The Big Game Hunting Blog to chronicle some stories and experiences I had hunting as a child and as a young man. However, I realized there was an important niche I could fill in the hunting industry.
I’ve been in your shoes.
Believe me, I know what you’re going through. I know what it feels like to struggle to find a place to hunt, to search high and low for reliable information on hunting gear, to feel like other hunters are withholding their knowledge from you, and to feel like every hunting outfitter is just out to cheat you out of your hard earned money.
You know as well as I do that there are a lot of so called “hunting resources” out there that are full of incredibly biased, misleading, out of date, or just plain wrong information.
That’s why I decided to build something better with the Royal Hunting Blog.
I can help you too.
The mission of The Royal Hunting Blog is to assist hunters like you in preparing for the big game hunting adventures you’ve always dreamed about.
There are two main constraints that keep people from hunting more: time and money. Chances are, if you have plenty of one, then you’re really short on the other. For that reason, The Royal Hunting Blog is a free resource that contains succinct answers to your questions about hunting.
Here’s the good stuff.
My father and grandfather taught me a great deal about hunting and helped me build a good foundation of knowledge and skills when I was a child, but I’ve hunted a wide variety of game species in nearly a dozen different states since then. Needless to say, there’s always a lot to learn any time you hunt someplace new, particularly if you’re pursuing an animal you’ve never hunted before or learning how to use a new weapon (like a muzzleloader).
It frustrated me to no end when more experienced hunters not only refused to help me out, but seemed to take pleasure in my struggles. Luckily, I’ve had the good fortune to meet a few incredibly skilled hunters over the years who have taken me under their wing and shared their knowledge.
That’s what I’m doing for you with the Royal Hunting Blog.
There are no secrets here and I’m happy to share everything I’ve learned (often the hard way) about hunting over the years with my audience.
