Cloud 9, MN checking in! Wish you all good luck this season! I'm from St. Cloud, MN, which is in central MN. I have several areas to hunt. A couple differant farms close to my house and the main spot is a roughly 400 acre spot in Elk River. Thats mostly rolling oak ridges and popal/birch swamps. We have about 25 permant portables out there and about 10 miles of 4 wheeler trails. 3 decent foodplots that we usually don't hunt on. I shoot a '02 Bowtech Patriot that I really love. The past two seasons I though about getting a new bow but each time I start shooting new ones I find I still like my Patriot the best.

Anyway...I checked in......I normally am on this site several times a week for the past 3 years, but if you don't hear from me don't worry.....I'm just getting in a bunch of hunting. Our season starts Sept 16th.

I almost didn't get into the contest this season because the past 2 years( '04 and '05 )I signed up and haven't taken a buck. (passed up many though). In '02 and '03 I shotthree over 125"

Hard hard!.......Later
