Keenan Adams Biography
Date of Birth: 02/14/93
Hometown: Bainbridge, Georgia Decatur County
Parents Name: Roy and Maggie Adams
He is the youngest of seven children and the only boy.
Attends Grace Christian Academy
Roy and Buddy Adams have been hunting since they were young boys. They started their own business
in 1973 with one machine. As the business grew and they became financially stable they began
purchasing land for hunting and fishing purposes. They work long into the night after completing
twelve-hour days at their construction company on their farms to make it one of the most beautiful
properties in Decatur County.
Keenan was born in 1993. Keenan learned at a young age to appreciate the land and wilderness.
His father and Uncle Buddy took him hunting before he could even walk. When they would leave
without him he would cry to go. By the age of three, he was at his father’s side every time
his father would go hunting.
His father and Uncle Buddy were diligent in their rules of hunting safety. As Keenan turned
five his Uncle Herb, who is retired from the Georgia DNR, started teaching him the importance
of hunter safety.
He would beg to hunt himself. His father, Roy Adams, insisted he study for his hunting
certificate at the age of seven. When his father took him to take the test the instructor
informed Roy Adams that he thought Keenan was too young and if he was to take the test that
his father would not be allowed to assist. Roy stated that he understood and thought Keenan
was ready to take the test. Keenan completed the test and was the only one out of 40 people
to make a 100.
Keenan is expected to maintain his A Honor Roll status. His parents feel that he must maintain
his academic level first. He is allowed to miss school during out of state hunts, but his teacher
gives Keenan his schoolwork for the week and he must finish all before he is allowed to hunt.
Keenan has a love for all sorts of outdoor sports such as fishing, deer hunting, dove and duck
hunting. He has taken a total of 6 eight point bucks and multiple limits on duck and dove. He
has been fishing at his father’s pond in Decatur County, GA. and has caught many eight to ten
pound bass. He has been deep-sea fishing and caught a 25-pound Grouper and a 28-pound Snapper.
Keenan’s first love is Turkey hunting. He has hunted in 5 different states and in Mexico on
several different hunts. He achieved his first Grand Slam at the age of seven and by ten years
old has achieved three Grand Slams, three Royal Slams, and one World Slam. Keenan has used box
call, slate call and is very accomplished at the mouth call. He used a Benelli M1 Field 90 camo.
