CollegiateCamo Pro-Staff: Donny Bartow

Favorite College Team: University of Georgia Bulldogs
Specialties: Deer Hunting, Gator Trapping


Donny Bartow is the biggest outdoors freak you’ll meet in the southern United States. Whether he is cheering and hollering for his favorite college sports team, the University of Georgia Bulldogs, or if heis flinging a 6-inch junebug-colored lizard into a fallen tree, or sitting in a deer stand waiting patiently for a trophy deer to walk by and catch his arrow, you can bet that he is in the great outdoors. Bartow especially loves to pursue the whitetails of the Midwest.

Bartow has lived in south Georgia since he was 8 years old. He is one of 11 Georgia nuisance alligator trappers, and he loves every minute of his job. He loves the thrill of catching monster gators alive and the fight that goes with. He was introduced to the outdoors world by his father and uncles. From the time he could walk, he was tagging along or tugging on shirttails to go on the hunting and fishing trips with his family. Family tradition centered around gathering together and enjoying the great outdoors as a family, and pursuing all that the outdoors has to offer.

He believes in exposing as many people as possible to the great outdoors. “As you can see in the picture I am a true UGA fan, because I am sitting on the back of a gator,” Bartow says. “Go Dawgs!”
