    Ok it looks like a lot of us are good with "Straight Shooters"

    I am jealous that a lot of you have cameras out. My wife and I recently sold our home and moved to a bigger house in our same town and my wife is pregnant as well so it has been quite the busy summer thus far. I am hoping to get cameras out on two of my properties this weekend.

    How about we all tell a little about ourselves to get to know each other a little better.

    - Where you're from
    - What you do for a living
    - Married, children, etc.
    - Kind of bow you shoot
    - How long you've been bowhunting
    - Any other information you'd like to share!

    - What you do for a living
    I've come to describe my living as I do non-occupational, educational, or recreational labor like activities. I'm a stay at home dad but between garden/projects/yard/baby/etc it fills out to a full time job and some to not hire out for anything. I do pick up side jobs/projects and give people a hand on lots too. We've had a bunch of different circumstances that fill time plenty too.

    Married just over 2 years with 9 month old little guy. They're the priorities of my life
    - Kind of bow you shoot
    Compound have Bowtech Insanity, Recurves Samick Deer Master, Bear Grizzly, Longbows old York and Indian Archery
    - How long you've been bowhunting
    This is second year. Killed a bear for first hunt and two deer last season so happy with that. Wish I woulda got into it years back but doing all I can now. Love the sport and just shooting

    - Where you're from

    I am born and raised in Central Illinois. Grew up around Quincy IL and have lived around Bloomington, IL for the past 10 years

    - What you do for a living
    I work in the marketing and customer service department for a large electric cooperative

    - Married, children, etc.
    I just got married last September so I suppose I can claim that I am a newlywed for another month. We found out that we were going to have a baby a couple months ago and my wife is due in January so this is my last season to really live in a tree like I have in the past.

    - Kind of bow you shoot
    Grew up shooting an old Bear compound that was a hand me down and then I switched over to a Bowtech General which I love. I shoot muzzy three blade and two blade bloodrunners which never cease to amaze me at how much damage they do.

    - How long you've been bowhunting
    Shot my first deer when I was 11 with a shotgun and started bowhunting when I was 18. I am 29 now and it will be my 11th year sitting with a bow!

    - Any other information you'd like to share!
    On the side I drive the ambulance in the small town I live in. I have been doing it for 7 months and it actually has inspired me to go back to school one more time this fall to obtain my EMT-B License
