Howdy all... from sunny Florida. I've just joined and am looking forward to socializing. Lest not everyone think I'm an intruder... I was born and raised in NYS. Have been hunting there since the 60's. Our family has a small parcel (with cabin) in Steuben Co. that has served me well for many years. I took my first bucks back then with recurves and slugs! I moved up to vertical bows and rifles as the situations permitted. Now, I'm hunting with crossbow and rifles... since NY (and Steuben) has allowed their usage.
NYS is a great place... save the cold and political climate. However, I left in 1976 to pursue educational and employment upgrades. I do get back every fall... and will likely do so till I take the eternal dirt nap. It's a way of life.
In case anybody is curious, I go by bugsNbows. That's because I'm an Entomologist (semi-retired) by training...(the bows being self explanatory). LOL
Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking' to it.
