Those are some really nice deer, John! A little about myself; I am 25 years old and have been hunting since I was 7. Got my start with squirrels and dove. Dad never went deer hunting, so I didn't get started with that until I could drive and go on my own. Although I have been deer hunting for several years, this will be my first year to bowhunt. I am really excited about it! This will also be my wife's (married for a little over 2 years) first year to bowhunt, but I already told her that I get to shoot the biggest one, because we need to win this contest! I grew up in the Florence, AL area (northwest corner of the state) and now reside in Lawrence County, TN where I am a youth minister. I have been here for three years. Most of my hunting is done locally, in either Lawrence or Giles County, TN. I will hunt a few times in Alabama on family land, and hopefully a time or two in Obion County near the KY border.

I have a great family, great friends and try my best to serve the Lord. Looking forward to getting to know you all better.
