About the founder

Hi, my name is Eric Siegfried. If you haven't already noticed, hunting is my life's passion. I began hunting in my early teens with friends in Eastern Montana. We pursued smart, old mule deer in the sagebrush and gumbo near Miles City, my hometown. These experiences gave me a real sense of the thrill of a spot and stalk hunt, and my love for hunting grew from there. I began spending all of my free time studying the behavior of mule deer, white-tailed deer, antelope, and elk.

I studied mechanical engineering at Montana State University in Bozeman. Of course, I learned all about engineering, but to me, the most interesting lessons came from chasing trophy bulls with my bow near Yellowstone National Park.

As I began to love these thrilling experiences more and more, I had the urge to share these experiences with others. Whether it was through photography, video, or guiding, I wanted friends, family, and clients to experience the thrill of spotting and stalking open country mule deer and antelope, or calling in huge bull elk until they’re right in your face.

This same love for sharing experiences in the outdoors and helping hunters be more successful is why I have developed www.kmlers.com. My hope is for all hunters to have the tools at their fingertips to help them become more successful, whether it is using statistical analysis to find places to hunt or using GPS and Google Earth to record and research big game activity.
