I am ready to hunt. Can't wait to get back. I should be outta here in the next month or so. Our season don't start until mid Oct so I still have some time. A little info about myself...... My name is Mike and I grew up and still live in north Alabama. Joined the Army at 17 and spent 8 years all over the world including the original Operiation Iraqi Freedom in 2002 and 2003 with the 3rd Infantry Division. I got out of the army shortly after returning to the states and moved back home to alabama. After moving back home, my wife and I had our first and only child (a boy thankgoodness) in the summer of '04. I have hunted all my life but I have become addicted to it in the past 3 years. Last year was my first year for bowhunting and scored a 17 in wide 6 point. By far not the biggest buck ever taken but I was thrilled about it. I am an aviation structural engineer and am still working with the Army. I am not in anymore but I make modifications to Army aircraft in support of the war and make things better and safer for the soldier on the battlefield. I am over here right now doing just that. I have been here since April and should be done and heading back home mid Sep. I am in a hunting club and also hunt private land. Anyways, enough rambling and I hope everyone has a safe and productive hunting season. This seems like a great team and I am happy to be part of it. By the way, the avatar with the buck coming through the green background has my vote. They all look good though.
