      Faron is a lifetime resident of Seneca, Mo and has hunted in the hills and fished the waters of the four state area, every since he was big enough to carry a fishing pole!  He has fished in many bass tournaments and is an accomplished amateur angler who plans to move into a professional bass fishing league in the near future.  He also fishes for crappie, sand bass, catfish and spoonbill whenever he can find an excuse to head to the lake.

Faron is a former active duty (and reservist) US Marine and has served our country in Iraqi Freedom.  He served from 1998-2006 and is a combat related disabled veteran.


     Faron Hembree is also an avid bow hunter.  He has been on the DIYBowhunter.com field staff in an effort to help other bow hunters have successful DIY hunting adventures.  He has killed everything from trophy Missouri whitetail deer to South Texas javalina.  As a  former Missouri Dept. of Conservation Hunters Education Instructor, Faron wishes to give back to the hunting community so that hunting will be a cherished outdoor activity for many generations to come.

  

Faron is a hunting guide in Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado with a 99% success record. Whether you're looking for trophy whitetails, elk, exotics or hogs; he would love the opportunity to help you get booked for your hunt of a lifetime. 

"My most proud moments are those that I share with my family. God has blessed us all with an amazing love for the outdoors and I give him the thanks and praise for allowing us to share his creation together."
