I'm from West Wareham, MA...( its right next to Cape Cod )..I hunt Pheasant, Quail, and Deer. I have a German Shorthaired Pointer, she is a year and a half, that I do my bird hunting with. I have done some deer hunting with a gun, but I am new to the bow scene. I bought a Hoyt 2 years ago, and have been practicing with that, next year will be my first time out hunting with it. Jay
