Bennett Jacobs
Reporter

Bennett Jacobs is a senior majoring in print journalism with a minor in wildlife biology. He grew up on his family’s farm just outside the tiny rural town of Rockmart, Ga. As a young boy, Bennett read too many books and magazines about mountain men and cowboys hunting in the big mountains of the West. Despite Georgia’s beauty, its low old mountains and lack of elk drove Bennett to Montana, a state he had only been to once and didn’t know a soul in. He embraced journalism for its absence of a lot of math and with the hope that he may someday get paid to write about hunting. Bennett spends his free time writing, pursuing anything that there is a legal hunting season for and hanging out with his girlfriend and his fellow Forestry Club members.
