Who is John Coulter?

I truly have an "attitude of gratitude" as I have been blessed in so many ways! Let me tell you in the few paragraphs below who I really am:

I am a husband and father-

I have been married to my beautiful wife Muriel for 36 years and we have raised 4 wonderful children. Muriel and I share a love for travel and have traveled America and the world more than we ever thought possible. I have made a point of passing my love of hunting on to my children.

I am a career teacher-

In June of 2005 I retired from full-time high school teaching after 35 years of teaching 16 and 17 year old students. My wife has taught elementary special education for 32 years.

I am a dedicated conservationist-

I have been involved with FNAWS and MN-WI FNAWS since their earliest beginnings. I have served as President of MN-WI for 10 of the last 12 years. I am also a life member of Safari Club, Wyoming FNAWS, Iowa FNAWS, Utah FNAWS and the Rocky Mt. Bighorn Society.

I am a lifelong hunter!

I grew up on a small farm in southwestern Minnesota hunting ducks and pheasants when not doing chores. I have hunted since I can remember and have taken 11 North American Wild Sheep and have been on 9 African safaris, all on a teachers income.
