Jesse’s passion for land management was cultivated from a young age, growing up in a hunting lodge run by his father, Toby Stay, a specialist in trophy deer hunting. This environment instilled in him a deep love for the outdoors and hands-on experience in deer hunting, leading to his own success as a trophy hunter. But his true calling emerged in land management, particularly in producing trophy Whitetails, which led him to found “Stay’N Outdoors,” where he managed and enhanced over 20 properties to support mature Whitetail bucks.  

After years of helping others, Jesse became a landowner himself, further deepening his understanding of the rewards and challenges that come with property ownership. Today, he continues to manage one of the finest trophy deer hunting properties in the nation.
