Hi folks...

I'm Steve, a relatively new hunter to Ohio. Been here for 4 years and am located south of Columbus. Been hunting off and on for about 20 years now.

Originally Im from mid-Missouri, but was moved to Florida at 1 year old. Spent the next 23 years getting out of that sweatbox. Made it to North Carolina where I managed to take up hunting again. I dabbled in waterfowl, but gave it up due to the insanity that is the NC waterways. Continued deer, dove, rabbit and squirrel hunting though. Moved up here to Ohio when I reconnected with an old girlfriend from college. I introduced her son to hunting and he's killed two small/medium bucks. Prolly won't hunt as much with him now that he's enrolled at UCincy.

Every year I head back to the family farm in Missouri for a hunt. Been blessed to take a few bucks and a couple does. I am in no way a trophy hunter, preferring to fill the freezer first. If bullwinkle steps out I'll shoot him...but he hasn't yet.

Currently enjoying The Hunting Public and Chasing November S4 on YT. Looking forward to making some new friends and possibly going to the get together next year. I registered a few days before this years event. Figured it would be bad form to show up with that little time invested.

See y'all on the forum!

Welcome too the site, Steve. The last sentence in your post struck me a little funny, this site and the guys who were at the gathering would of enjoyed meeting you at the gathering. What better way too meet for the first time than around the campfire and a few cold ones. Strouds will be coming up in October, hope too see you there. You won’t regret going too a gathering, you’ll have a good time.

Lots of good people here so jump right in. Stroud's event will be coming up mid October so check out that thread as well. Lots of great food, great stories, and great memories there. We even do some hunting sometimes.
