Why do you care what I've done coalcracker?Since you asked,I'll tell you.First of all I have a 10 year old daughter and a 4 year old son.My daughter like's the outdoors but she won't be a hunter.She's helped me cut up tons of deer,she understand the relationship hunters play and she respects that relationship.She accompanies me on habitat tours,has helped me hang stands and loves messing with trail cameras.She just isn't a predator.Her thing is horses.He's obsessed with them so that's what her and I do together.It's actually pretty cool becauseaside from running barrels,we do alot of long trail rides.That help's open up more of my world to her.My boy isstill pretty young but he's running for the door everytime I come come to see what I got.I imagine he'll certainly hunt.When the time comes,he'll understand what it takes to be successful.That I guarantee.

As far as helping other hunters,Ispend more time getting deer for other people than I do myself.I also helped form a committe and worked for four years to open up 2200 acres of land that had been off limites to hunting for almost 50 years.I ridiculed by anti-hunters and laughed at by hunters during the process.NO ONE THOUGHT HUNTING WOULD EVER BE ALLOWED ON THIS PROPERTY.I COULD HAVE BEEN SELFISH AND PUSHED JUST FOR RESIDENTS TO BE ABLE TO HUNT.MYSELF AND TWO OTHER GUYS MADE SURE IT WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.I've put total; strangers in stands,let them stay at my house,helped them recover deer and ever cut up a bunch for guys thatI barely knew.

I've also responded to several PM's over the years and helped people find places to hunt in 2G.Most of those places were areas that I hunt myself.Do asearch on HPA for a guy called rockdog.I showed him where to hunt last year and he ended up killing a nice 8 point on public property in 2G on the last thursday.He got lost after he killed the buck and called me at work so Icould go out and find him.The story and pictures are there in Dec of 2007.This year,my neighbors sister and brother in law moved up from Louisianna.I took him with me the first day and showed him one of my favorite places in Moshannon state forest.Unfortunatly,he ended up calling it a day shortly after we got in the woods because he was sick.Still,I went out of my way and changed my plans at the last minute to help out a guy I didn't even know.

Every year I also have my business sponsor a youth field day,hosted by Pa wildlife habitat unlimited.On top of that,I've also taken a couple kids outfor the youth turkey season.I'm actuall in the process of planning another youth turkey hunt for some people that just moved down from NY state.
