Steve Alderman
Age: 38
Hometown: Meridian, Idaho
Occupation: Tile Contractor; Video and Television Production Company
Area of Expertise: Mule Deer
Favorite Hunting Method: Spot and Stalk Muzzleloader Hunting.

Steve was raised in Glenns Ferry, Idaho and started Mule Deer hunting with his father at the age of 12. He was the pusher on these hunts while his father was the shooter. In high school mule deer hunting mature bucks became a passion that persists today. Steve borrowed his first muzzleloader from a friend's father and was hooked on the challenge of short range hunting.
Steve moved to Boise in 1989 to play college football for Boise State University, but still found himself chasing big Mulies with his front stuffer on the weekends. Steve picked up a bow and arrow after college and fell in love with the sport. There is just something special about the challenge of getting close.
Steve has been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel North America hunting and filming Mule Deer from Canada to Mexico and everywhere in between. Steve holds the number 2 archery buck in Alberta, Canada and the number 1 muzzleloader buck from Old Mexico. Steve is very proud of his accomplishments, but they all come second to his family and five year old son, Bennett.
In 1995, Steve joined the Deer Hunters o f Idaho where he sat on the Board of Directors for 2 years. He was then Vice President for 4 years and President for 2 years. In 2005, Steve became the Chapter Chair for the Mule Deer Foundation, Bennett Hills Chapter. Under his direction, the local 2007 Mule Deer Foundation event was one of the highest net to gross banquets in the nation. He looks forward to serving on the National Board of Directors for the Mule Deer Foundation. He believes that conservation is the key to helping out the deer herds in Idaho and nationwide.
Steve loves spending time outdoors with friends and family. Camping with his wife, Amy, and his son, Bennett, is his new favorite pastime. He knows the more time spent in the outdoors and scouting with his family, will pass along his love of the outdoors, mule deer and the hunting heritage.
