Phade, Let me welcome you as well...I am 55 yrs old and have been hunting ever since I can remember. I have three sons (in their 30's)that are not only my hunting buddies but also my best friends. My youngest son has two boys who have already been hunting with their "uncles". Soon these two will be joining us reguarly and to me, this is what deer hunting is all about. My (Late) Dad was a hunter, I am a hunter, as are my sons and grandsons. We hunt exclusively in New England, primarly our home state of NH as well as Maine. We always do well (3-4 deer each year) considering, we do not have the hight deer numbers other states have. There is nothing in this world I look forward to than those days spent in the woods hunting deer with my sons, whether it's with a bow, muzzleloader or rifle. We all say when we are together at these special times..."Life is Good"!
