Gerard Masih is a first generation Pakistani American. He is the epitome of someone who took up hunting as a result of the life that America as a country promised. Starting with a pellet gun he decided to follow that what was in his blood – bird hunting. Utilizing the public land system in California shaped his descent into becoming an avid waterfowler, and as they say, the rest is history. His two young sons are being raised as hunters, and his story represents the system in place of public lands, access, our 2nd amendment, and the ability to harvest your own food to feed your family.
