Hey team, lets get to know each other.. Ya know, age, where we hunt, years bowhunting, what we shoot, biggest buck, most embarrasing moment while hunting etc?

I'll start,

My name is Bob I've been hunting 37 years and bowhunting for all 37 of em. My first bowkill was at 16: a doe with a Blackhawk Bee recurve, micro-flite fiberglass arrows and Fred Bear razorheads. I Live and hunt in Western Pa and alsoguideand hunt a good bit in West Central Illinois. My biggest Buck was a 152" 12 pt in Illinois back in 00. My best Pa buck scored 129 6/8 in 01.

I've had lots of embarrassing moments in the woods but I think this one tops the list: While doe hunting in Northern Pa on a very gray dark foggy day with a good layer of wet snow on the ground, I and a hunting buddy spied a doe about 70 yards off. I raised my rifle and fired. She just stood there with ears twitching I shot twice more with the same result. Finally, she'd had enough and took about four or five steps and stopped again (I think to laugh) I shot one more time and down she went. It was then I realized that in her prior spot, she was satnding right smack behind a rotten old sump that blened in just right with her body in the gloom. We checked and sure enough, I had a pretty fair three shot group in that stump!

Lets hear some stories folks!
