Howdy, new guy from SW Idaho
« on: June 21, 2011, 06:45:14 AM »
Hi there ya'll,  My brother told me about GBO and after checking it out there's no way I could resist joining.  A quick rundown on me:

- 44 y/o married x 20 years, father of 3 (all teenagers, I seem to get more gray hairs by the day)
- Retired Navy Corpsman (medic) currently working as a military contractor
- My brother's gotten back into hunting (deer & antelope) and has turned me on to bowhunting (I'm absolutely loving it)
- I've recently started reloading, been doing shotshells for a couple of years and am in the process of expanding to rifle & pistol cartridges
- Besides hunting, I really enjoy stalking trout in the mountains, I've always used a spin rod but have recently been working on my fly rod technique - I'm pretty rough but getting there
- Other outdoor activities include camping, hiking and backpacking

I'm really happy to be here & look forward to learning from everybody here.

-J
