About Darrell Madden
Personal Story
Darrell Madden was born on November 15, 1960. It’s only fitting that he
was born in November, as this is the beginning of deer season across
North Carolina. Darrell grew up in North Carolina and soon, hunting and
fishing became a way of life. Being successful as a hunter comes from
countless hours of being in the field. Darrell has earned the reputation of
knowing what it takes to bring in big game.
Pursuing the Hunt
Darrell has traveled all over the North America continent chasing big game
wherever he could. His pursuits began out west hunting in Colorado and
Wyoming for Mule Deer, Elk and Antelope. Darrell has also taken
Mountain Lions, Black Bear, Mule Deer, Elk and Antelope in New Mexico.
Other animals he has taken in the United States include White Tail Deer,
Coyote, Bobcats and Caribou. His experiences in Texas brought in Axis,
Fallow Deer, Sheep, Black Buck, Aoudad and Wild Boar.
Darrell also spent time early in his hunting career across the Northern
border in Canada, hunting primarily Black Bear, Moose and Caribou in
Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec.
