ok, lets get to know each other
i have seen a TON of new faces around on the bowhunting forum lately.
lets just get to meet some new people
im rory, from missouri
im 15
i love to hunt, play baseball, and party
ive been bowhunting seriously for about 2 years, but i have been out there with a bow in my hand learning for about 4. never killed one with a bow, im willing to bet that comes this fall though
i love to deer hunt, but behind deer isa close second, in turkey. i have killed5 of them suckers in 6 years of hunting them, that equals a ton of great memories with my dad and brother.
i have been deer hunting 8 years, and killed 6 of them. the biggest coming this past fall. i try to learn as much as i can about them, to help me become a more successful, and ethical hunter. which is one of the reason i signed up on here.
i also like to waterfowl hunt, and have killed more ducks and snow geese han most of my dads hunting buddies. i guess it helps that my dads a waterfowl guide in the bootheel of missouri. only killed a couple of canadas, as they dont tend to cooperate down here as well as they do up north
looking forward to meet some new people hopefully in this thread

RE: ok, lets get to know each other
I'm Curtis from Texas...I am 35 and live to bowhunt (aside from family)....I have been bowhunting since I was 22 as well as a serious 3_D competitor, however in the last 5 years I haven't shot 3-D seriously, I have just been shooting for fun....My oldest daughter is 7 and has a little cheap bow that she enjoys shooting, my wife has a descent compound that she shoots as well....It's a family thing....I gun hunted last year for the first time since 1996 and the only reason I sat with a rifle was b/c my daughter wanted to hunt with me..>We tried the double bull and a bow but she wasn't quite ready...Maybe this year....

Ohh what the heck...
I'm Steven, 19, I live in PA, but I'm going to school in New Hampshire for Civil Engineering. I've been into archery for 9 years and have been hunting since then as well. My favorite types of hunting are Archery, Flintlock Muzzleloaders, and Woodchucks. I enjoy all types of hunting however and spend ample time doing all of them. Hunting to me is more about the experience than the kill.
I shoot for UNH's Archery Team and won the New England Regional Collegiate Championships this past spring as a freshman, but shooting spots is just a way to practice for deer season.
My girlfriend and I at the shoot...she won her division as well.

I'm Jeff, from North Carolina
I'm43
I llove being a husband, a father, a businessman...and hunting is my hobby.
I've been bowhunting seriously for about 2.5 years. My first season ('05) saw me take only one ill-advised shot. I had no idea of what I was doing......and I probably shouldn't have been in a tree with a weapon.
Through the teachings of MANY, MANY of the members here.....I connected with my first whitetail (7-point buck) on Sept. 30th, 2006. I ended up taking 4 more deer that year....including a piebald and my first "wall-hanger" (8-point, 106+"). I followed up that season with a 9 deer season in '07 that was highlighted by a 4.5yr old/103" buck I had seen in my previous 2 seasons....but couldn't seal the deal on. He's with my previous 8-pointer on the wall, now. He was a great deer, to ME, for many reasons.
I took 2 turkeys via scatter gun, during my days in SC. I recently started bowhunting turkeys and took my first and only in '07. I got skunked in '08 on the birds....but only go tto hunt them 6 times (compared to 25 hunts in '06). I hope to add to this total in future years. I'm intrigued by them.
I started hunting small game in my single digit years with friends of my grandpa. I hunted about any small game you could think of until I went away to college (baseball). After college.....my hunting consisted of small game, until I was bitten by the waterfowl bug. I got into it to hunt....but found my passion training my dog to retrieve. I still miss my friend. I've taken more ducks than some.....andnever considered deer hunting until my son bought a bow in '05. I've been a deer hunting enthusiast, every since.....taking 14 whitetails.
I've also dabbled in deep sea fishing and in and off-shore fishing while a resident of Charleston, SC. Even did a TON of mtn. flyfishing before I moved to SC.
I've been blessed to hunt fertile grounds....and I've picked up more for '08. I plan to hunt less this year than in years past......but I plan on hunting smarter. I read about deer hunting every week....sometimes every day.
I owe more (when it comes to hunting)to this site and a handful of members than they'll ever know.
That's "me".
