Owner, Get-em Locked Up

I was raised in Chester County, PA; a stone mason by trade, I now own a landscaping business with my brother. I grew up spending time with my dad and granddad, hearing stories of their hunting experiences and started hunting with them at the age of 12. The most memorable stories were ones that my dad told about goose hunting on the farm. One day, after a disappointing morning of rabbit hunting, I saw some guys with goose decoys in a field and found out from my dad that they were goose hunting. That very same day, I went and bought 6 goose shell decoys, went to a local farm and shot my first 2 geese. From that day on, it became my passion. In 2005 Get-em locked up was “hatched”.

 
   

Brian Bates

Head of Media Production

I am 31 years old and reside in Coatesville, PA.  I began hunting with my neighbor at the age of 12.  We mostly hunted deer and small game, and sometimes geese.  In 2007, as I was scouting for some birds, I ran into my old friend, Steve Shurak, who invited me on a goose hunt; that’s when I knew I found my new hobby.  I am a volunteer firefighter at Martins Corner Fire Company, and enjoy fishing, camping and spending time outdoors with my family and friends.
   

John Casey

My name is John Casey, I am 19 years old and I have lived in southern Lancaster County almost all of my life.  I started waterfowl hunting in 2007.  Since then I have made it not only my passion but an obsession.  I am going to school for culinary arts restaurant management.  I love water fowling and would never give it up for anything.  I feel honored to be on the G-Crew for Get-em Locked Up.
   


Office Manager

I was born and raised in Chester County, PA. Since 1998 I work for James Spring & Wire Co., at this time my responsibilities are that of the Office Manger. Bill and I were married in 1996. I enjoy spending time with friends and family and try not to take myself too seriously! I also enjoy going out goose hunting with these guys; I don’t shoot a gun, just a video camera. I tried raccoon hunting with Bill once, but he left me in the dark, in a corn field that had tons of spider webs, yuck. When Bill decided to start this business I promised to help in any way possible; so the office is my “pit blind”.
