I will be hunting Northeast N.C. and all over VA from the Eastern Shore to the Blue Ridge Mountains and several spots in between. Might hunt a weekend or two in MD if time permits.

Cool, it sounds like everybody has some good spots to hunt. Just so I know how much smack to talk, what kind of bucks have you killed the last few years. My last 3 are. 2008=125" 2007=142" 2006=122" I hope to up the anti this year, I got some good ones on trail cam already.
Cougar Mag checking in. Good idea on the bio's. Hailing from southeastern Illinois I'll be bowhunting around 300 private acres total(small parcels) about 17 miles away and have 1100 acres of public land available just minutes away. Will be hunting some family owned land in Sullivan County, Indiana this season as well. 55 years old and been bowhunting since 1977. Currently employed at Hershey Chocolate as a processing technician. I've been married to the same gal for 34 years with a son and daughter plus new grandson. Greg
Well, after my hunting accident in 2000 I hung the bow up for about 6 years. But, don't let that kid you....I moved here to Ontario for the Summers and Falls in 2002 and did a lot of gun hunting and killed a bunch of great bucks, 135-153". I let a ton of great bucks go in that time that I could have killed with the bow, if I was hunting with one. Now, I picked the bow back up in 2007 and only killed a couple does that year in WI and passed up a some great bucks too. I leased some land in IL in 2008 with a couple chumps (JZ and Duke) and killed a 133. I'm back in the bowhunting mode now, after getting over the accident, and don't plan on not killing a good buck any year from here on out with the stick and string. Too much great land and opportunities.
