Great Lakes Region

​Region Rep Todd Woods

 My name is Todd Woods. My wife Susan and I call Southern Indiana home. I grew up in a small Indiana farming community where hunting, fishing and trapping were our pastimes. When I began hunting deer it was with a recurve bow at age 14. I took my first deer with a compound bow in 1979. I have hunted with traditional gear since 1988. I joined PBS in 1991.
In addition to Indiana, I've bowhunted in Ohio, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado as well
as Ontario and Quebec in Canada.
In my work life I was involved in working with Federal agencies, State and local governments, non-profits, universities and the private sector to put in place partnerships, plans and programs leading to natural and agricultural lands preservation and green energy projects. As a bowhunter the opportunity in my job to have a hand in creating lasting partnerships and programs that provide or maintain habitat or reduce man’s impacts on natural lands and the environment was most rewarding. I retired in 2020.
Over the years, I’ve mentored a few folks new to archery and bowhunting and have found that very rewarding. I also have spent quite a bit of time these last few years doing invasive species plant eradication on some of my families land where I bowhunt for deer.
Giving back a little as I’ve described is what being a member of PBS is all about. I’m honored to represent the PBS for the Great Lakes Region and look forward to assisting the Region Membership however I can.
