RE: ok, lets get to know each other
My name is Gordon Shaw and I am a thirty-two year old 6-1 265 lb.kid according to my wife. I am married with beautiful 4 1/2 year old twin daughters who are learning how to fish.I have been visiting this place for a while, since around 2001 if memory serves (maybe earlier I'm not sure). I just finished Law School a month ago and am about knee deep in studying for the bar (and getting deeper every day). In the little spare time I have I make game calls (turkey and duck) and try to get in a round of golf in between fishing. I guess you could say I have a lot of hobbies.
Bowhunting is one of my diversions while waiting for duck season. I spend most of my efforts from Thanksgiving until the end of January chasing ducks. But, like most things I take bow hunting very seriously and won't do it "half way", it is all or nothing. I remember my first bow was a Hoyt target bow that I had to Camo up.After taking my first doe with it my dad agreed to buy me a dedicated hunting rig, a brand new PSE Mach Flite 4, it was top of the line back then. I've had a bow ever since, currently I'm shooting an '04 Bowtech Patriot 29" draw with the draw weight set at 72 lbs (factory max). Still shooting A/C/C's cause I haven't found anything better for me. I have only bowhunted lightly in for the pastthree years, but I plan on changing that this year...at least till the ducks show up. I have been hunting for 25 years and havehunted large game in 12 states (Deer only unless you count turkeys, but I'm working on an Elk Trip for '09) and am halfway into my Grand Slam for Turkeys. But, both have taken a back seat to pursuing webfooted game for the past 10 years.
Boy...do I feel like a self centered idiot after writing all that.... the bottom line...my name is Gordon, I have been hunting since I was seven. I enjoy deer hunting and have done it quite a bit, but put deer on the back burner when Duck season gets here.
