Hello, I'm Jason and new here.  I happened upon the site while browsing craigslist... Can't believe I didn't find it some other way a long time ago.  Anyways a little about myself...  I'm 30 and love all things outdoors but have a special little love of hunting.  I've been hunting since I could remember (before I was old enough to carry a gun) and I've hunted many things from squirels, grouse, and pheasants to mule deer, antelope and bear.  Now it's mostly just deer and pheasants with my german shorthair since time is always scarce these days.  Anyways that was probably way more than anyone cares to know.  Just saying hello and I'll be seein you around!

Hi my name is Spencer and I just found you guys on craigslist.  So far I've seen and read lots of great things and look forward to sharing stories.  I am 26 married and I live in Eagan.  I fish and hunt.  Mostly a bass fisherman.  I just started archery hunting 2 yrs ago and have yet to get a deer, although I think this year is the year.  I also do a bit of pheasant hunting when I get time.  Thats all for now.  Good luck to all.

Hello, my name is Rick and live in the rural Mankato area.  Married, 2 kids, one out and the other is 18 and getting cut loose soon, hopefully.

I have a Black Lab, don't know why I specify, everyone knows there is just one hunting dog, a Black Lab, which is my second, the first is my avatar after his porcupine encounter.  I hunt pheasant mostly, both on private and public land locally.  Also hunt grouse and whitetail deer in the Becida area of Minnesota, some public, but mostly private.  I am blessed because of my late father's love of hunting, to have 180 acres in this northern Minnesota area that is equipped with a semi modern cabin.  I thank him every year, even at tax and insurance time, but mostly when I am freezing my behind off in this great outdoors that he loved.

Also do some varmint hunting locally, use to shoot prairie dogs for several years just east of Norris South Dakota but local poisoning put a dampening on that.

Don't hunt waterfowl, I don't care for the taste so I don't hunt them, simple enough I guess.

Do fish some, but not nearly enough.  When I do, I target walleyes or panfish on ultralight gear which I have gone up to 4 lb test on the panfish, just can't see the 2 lb anymore with these 50+ year old eyes.

Other hobbies, handgun shooting would pretty much describe that.  Both for fun and competition, plus some training that I offer locally.

 :newhere: This will be my first time out hunting EVER! I am very excited about the whole hunting experience!

I'm in my late 30's and have one daughter who has been Bow Hunting several time in the past few years, and Rifle hunted once. She is in a Archery Club through the school and has went on to the State and National Archery Tournament (NASP)  :dancinred: I am a very Proud Mom!!

I love to fish  :fishing: I bait my own hook and take the fish off the hook, I just learned how to clean Sunfish this past summer - Yea that was Fun! I also love to snowmobile and 4-wheel.

 :queen: Even tho I'm a girly-girl I don't mind getting dirt under my nails. My goal is to get a deer (before my daughter does) gut it and hang it on the wall!

Well this is my story in a nut shell....hope to be sharing photos of my success, by the end of this hunting season!! :fudd:

Hello Everyone!

OK- I'm a newbie to this site and I'm addicted to it!     :toast:

I'm Angel, I am not quite married, but Gosh darn it, I'm hoping to get that ring soon from my hubby Nathan ;)! We have an AWSOME 2 year old daughter, Faith.
I stay at home with Faith, which gives me a fair amount of time to spend outdoors- which we all LOVE!

I use bow and riffle to hunt deer and I also shoot grouse, porcupines, racoon, ect. I enjoy shooting skeet.
I fish whenever its possible- Ice fishing is my all time favorite.

I guess if I left anything out- Don't be affraid to ask

Hi, a little bit about myself, I'm 50, I grew up in Bismarck ND, I lived in Colorado from 89 to 2000. I have lived in St Peter MN since. I'm a Special Ed teacher working in Le Sueur. I have always loved to hunt and fish. In CO I was very active in the Colorado Walleye Association. I have fished tournaments but not since 2000. I was an Ambassador for Pure Fishing.  I'm recently divorced and my daughter is very active in sports so I don't get out as much as I would like. I'm not really sure what else to say so  :blablabla: have a great day.  Jeff Mc
