I have been lurking for a few months now and finally decided to join. My name is Michael i hail from the Willamette valley of Oregon, i have spent most of my 32 years as a hunter chasing Blacktails in the blackberry infested draws and ridges around my home town. I have also hunted Roosevelt elk in the Cascade ranges of Oregon, in recent years my family and I have grown tired of the declining deer in our home hunting areas and have branched out in the last 5 years and moved too the east side of the state. It has been a good decision for the most part, but my best decision was to go out of state for the first time and i will never look back. I had the time of my life in Wyoming hunting Antelope, i was lucky enough to share it with my Dad and one of my Uncles as well as 2 good friends. I was able to kill a decent buck. I have never been able too do it in Oregon, and it was an easy draw unit. Nothing like tagging out with 2 bucks and 4 does, we ended up with 13 between the 5 of us. My Dad is 71 years old and had never killed an antelope until this year, he killed a nice buck and fulfilled a bucket list item. He is already planning next years trip, funny thing is i had to beg him too come on this trip. By day 2 he was already taking about bringing more of his brothers next year.
I am an avid game processor and enjoy doing sausages and and cutting meat for friends and family. I have gotten pretty good at it and i am in the process of building a shop and working towards becoming a licensed processor. I am a professional firefighter/emt and have been for almost 20 years and have been in the fire service for 25 plus years. I will be able to retire early and i am hoping to take that hobby into retirement. Does not hurt my wife is a Cordon Blue chef and has an international business degree lol. Anyway enough babbling that is a little about myself hopefully ican share some info at some point that will help someone along the way as well as take some away from the other members.
