    We make lower end bourbons like Kentucky Tavern and Very Old Barton. Our biggest seller currently is Fireball.

    I lived in Southern IL in a very small town named Fults. The Great Flood of 93 moved me up on the bluffs to Waterloo IL.

    I turned 51 in July. Been shacked up with the same woman for over 5 years. Employed with the Monroe county Sheriff's Dept. for 30 years this past March, as Maintenance Supervisor for all County owned buildings and properties.

    I shoot an old Mathews SQ2 for so long I can't even remember.

    Been bow hunting since I was 15yrs. old. killed at least one deer sometimes 2 or 3 during all those seasons. Does that make me an expert? Not at all... Still learning something new each time I sit a tree during the fall.

    Any other information you'd like to share??? More like advice to all the younger members. Keep a journal and photographs of all your outdoor adventures, you won't regret it.

    I wouldn't worry about Atlasman. He should show up soon I would think. He is very good at putting deer down every year.
