    Hi. My name is Greg Johnston, I live in Champaign, IL and hunt everywhere in Illinois. Public and Private land. I have always loved watching the bowhuntordie youtube videos so I figured I'd check out the forum. I'm pretty new to bowhunting, I've always been more of a gun hunter, but I recently got very interested in the added challenges of bowhunting. I picked up a 2013 PSE stinger 3G and have been shooting it obsessively in my backyard getting ready for my first year of archery deer season. Unfortunately, my Illinois deer season is going to be very short-lived because I'm moving to Montreal, Quebec in mid-October. Is anyone on here from the Quebec province, if so, I'd really like to discuss the hunting rules and regs.. Thanks and glad to be here!

    Hi, I'm from Maryland but have hunted Pike County for the last 10 years, I've bagged some nice bucks but think hunting pressure and number of hunters has limited the number of big bucks. I've made good friendships with Jeremy owner of Long Beard Taxidermy and Canan Sullivan at Timber Valley Fresh Scent. Great people.

    Got married to a PhD student and her best current job offer is there in Montreal at McGill University. So we're headed up for a 2 year term and probably moving back to the states after that. I'm thinkin Wisconsin...
