I'm Clayton from Southern Illinois. I'm 25 and I've been bowhunting since I was 14. My dad and I hunt an 80 acre patch that my aunt owns and after last season we bought a 40 acre patch. Both have promise of good opportunities. I arrowed my first bow buck in January 2009. 13 pointer on public land in the last 45 minutes of the season. It's always just my dad and I that hunt these 2 properties so there is minimal pressure. I got married October 2009 and my wife is a deer hunter also. She's going to be trying bow hunting in the near future also.
