Muskogee native pushes passion for outdoors toward education
D
wayne Daugherty says he’s been an outdoors person all his life. “I grew up here in Muskogee and am thankful I grew up in a country where we can hunt,” he said. “My dad (Jack) grew up in western Oklahoma where quail hunting was a really big thing. So as a kid, I’d watch
my dad and older brother, who’s 12 years older than I am, they’d wake up and drive to western Oklahoma and I just couldn’t wait.” And it was Dwayne’s older brother Lonnie who took him and their brother Darrell fishing and hunting until they were old enough to carry a gun. Dwayne said it was his older brother who got him and Darrell into hunting.
