Welcome aboard @Desert_Demon . I realize this is a somewhat anonymous internet site, but you'd be surprised how many real-world friendships are formed here. If you're comfortable doing so, I'd encourage you to post the general region of the midwest you're from. We do a lot of get-togethers and you may find yourself tied into the local scene if you're willing to share a bit about yourself.
P.S. - The reason for usernames rather than real names on this forum isn't due to the hunting community, only due to the anti-hunting community. There are enemies that view this forum hoping to create a sensational hit piece in the liberal media about hunters. This is especially true for our UK and California readers. Bottom line, share what you feel comfortable sharing, but understand that its a friendly place that is unfortunately viewable by the whole world, including antis.
