Hello to all, and just a note about myself. My name is Don, and I live in a small suburb about 28 miles from Pittsburgh. I am 40 years old, married 13 years, with 1 wife, and have 1 daughter 8 years old. I hate house cats, I love big dogs, and am fond of German Shephards the most. I have a big female, who does not backtalk much. I have loved hunting and the outdoors all of my life, and I guess I have been ok at it. I live on the OH,WV,PA, border, so I can be in anyone of these states in 10 minutes. Makes for good hunting. I travel to NY to deer hunt, and have done so with the same 4 guys since 1984. I have taken 64 whitetails, (24 with a bow) 40 with a rifle or slug gun. I have also taken 1 mule deer, and 1 antelope. I have been out to the western states, and have become addicted to the wide open space. I do all of my own bow work, (making arrows, bow tuning, and such), and truly enjoy archery. I have been reloading for about 20 years, and have learned a lot along the way. I enjoy shooting groundhogs at longer ranges. When not hunting animals, I enjoy mushroom hunting or fishing. Walleyes are the prefered fish, but smallmouth bass ranks high also. I am a true freak, who eats, breaths, and sleeps guns and the outdoors. I am just trying to get geared up for fox and coyotes. I trapped fox when I was a kid, and did well at it. I have called in a couple of foxes, but never hunted them seriously. I run heavy equipment for a living, and would love to tell my boss, what Johnny Paycheck sang about. I'd like to work for someone like Cabela's or something, but Reaganomics kind of kept me from going to college. Dad had to use the college money to keep the house when all the mills shut down in the early 80's. No use crying over spilled milk, I make an honest living. My friends call me The Butcher because of my willingness to snuff the life out of critters I dislike. I don't know if that's good or bad. I like good friends, accurate rifles, smooth bows, and heavy blood trails. I hate big cities, and always carry a pistol, when forced to go to one. Gave up booze 3 years back, and enjoy time with the family. That's about it. Oh, I really like this site, and everyones willingness to share information. Keep up the good work.
