I guess now that we are all accounted for I will tell you a little about me!! I'm 37, born and raised in the north woods of Minnesota, but transplanted to Connecticut a few years back!! Self-employed contractor, and have beendoing mostly handicap remodeling(bathrooms, wheelchair ramps, etc..)for group homes through the state of CT for the past 3 years!

I've been deer hunting since I was 9,(single shot .410). Shot my first deer at 12(with a 30-30), first bought a bow when I was 16, and shot my first deer with it 2 years later,(a nice 8). I haven't bow hunted every season, but have only missed a couple, and have harvested 10 deer with my bow, all, but 1, mature bucks,the only doe was last years doe I shot here in CT!!

I'll do most of my hunting here in CT, but I do have the ability to hunt MN too! We have 40 acres in northern MN, with a castle on it,(lol),thats pretty much surrounded by the Superior Natl Forest. The land was purchased in 1946 by my grandpa and his 3 friends for a whopping $45.00!!!!

Below are some pictures of the shack(former), the castle(present), and the shack gang!! All the deer were taken by rifle,(yes, I gun hunt too, so don't crucify me).
The shack, built in the 50's!

The castle, built in 2005/2006!


The shack gang at the end of 2005 season! I'm on the far right! My dad and older brother are the two holding the guns! Why? They shot 6 of the 7 deer on the pole! I shot the 7th! In all there are a 10 two 8's and 4 does! I shot a doe, my dad the 10 and an 8 and my older bro the other 8 and 3 does!! What a year that was!!!!
