Title: Hello - New to MHF
Post by: sorelippin on Jul 29, 2013, 10:56:13 AM: Hello MA!.....I have the same username on MFF, Surftalk and IS. Figured I'd keep MHF and MFF consistent. NHBowHunter is my name on NEF and SalmonCrazy. I see some familiar screen names so I hope to chat with some of you soon. Hope to share some nice stories, info and photos of this years upcoming deer season. My son and I both got nice Toms this past spring and have been shooting our bows often. I helped start a controlled conservation hunt in Andover, MA 4 years ago and we took just over 70 deer last year - acrchery only program. My son just turned 14 and will be the youngest participant in the program this year. He needs to qualify at the Sportsman Club in town on 8/10 in order to participate. All our archers have to pass a proficiency test on the range and then are given 2 treestand tags and a photo ID and maps of all the conservation land we hunt. He's been shooting better than most we qualify so he should be good to go. Just mounted a new dropaway and got rid of the God awful wisker biscuit that came with the set up but was good to start. He's pulling 55lbs and holding a real nice group. Anyway, hope to be involved soon in discussions. Good luck to all.

Hello and Welcome to the site from the Northeast Kingdom of Vt. what style hunting you into most Gun , muzz. ; or bow ;) ;)

Although I hunt with all of them, to me, nothing beats taking an animal by stick and string. I've taken a lot of deer by all methods but the challenge of close encounters and the overall hunt with the bow is second to none for this guy. I grew up on the NH/VT border along the CT river and hunted both states and still do. Love going back home each fall and now with my son to take deer in the same spots I did when I was his age....really cool.
