We're already on page 7......but how's about everyone giving us a little intro/bio.....and we'll get to know each othera little better. It might be good to also give a synopsis of your participation in previous HNI bowhunting contests....and we'll get an idea of what we're looking at (maybe) for this season.

I'll start....

My name is Jeff....and I'm 43. I'm a construction manager by trade....a husband and a father by God's grace......and a deer hunter in my spare time. I've only been at this for 2.5yrs.....but I've been mildly successful.....taking two good representative bucks from the woods, here, and 5 bucks total in that time span. My best two bucks have, unfortunately (contest-wise) been taken AFTER my contest entry, each year. I shot a 7-pointer for the '06 contest that only went around 70".....and my '07 entry went around 60". But....I'm a fair bet to contribute.

I've got my eyes on one particular 2.5 yr old for this season, right now....and if I can get lucky (luckcan beassistedby the application of hard work and skils)....I may be in business, early. We'll see.

If not....I'll keep hounding them.....and hopefully it'll all come together, later.

Good luck to all of you....and I look forward to getting to know each of you, better.
