I would like to introduce myself before I post anything else. My name is Porter and have been bow hunting in the South East for 30 years, the last 12 or 15 have been more Bowhunting than rifle. I consider myself a patron to the management of deer and am raising my two girls with the same values and skills needed to become the next outdoorsy type generation. Don't get me wrong I am not a hardcore bone hunter..... But after the freezer is full I go after mature or cull buck. We live off deer and process our own meat, except the sausage, I don't have smokehouse. Burger is our favorite, we put back 5 deer if so blessed. My sister lives in Wadena and I just came back from up there..............Beautiful! Those of you who live in Iowa should be proud, NE Iowa is particularly awesome. I walked her property and found the sign amazing, Apples..........in the wild......Awesome, jumped two does that were every bit of 150 165 pound range. I am planning on going back up around thanksgiving to check it out again. Looking for some local intel and some bow hunting guys to talk at. I am shooting for my first pope and young, I shoot a Mathews Z7 with the Original Tekkan. My preferred method of hunting is climb and kill, I don't use permanent stands or hunt plots, scouting is my middle name and scent scent scent! I am a firm believer in covering scent! Tell me how a guy kills a buck in the same boots that he just wore into the local gas station?? Hope to meet some experienced bow hunters!! Thanks for the site
