Hi everyone,
New member so thought id check in - Grew up in Mt. Laurel, NJ fishing and hiking with my grandfather which created my long lasting love affair with the outdoors. I've since gotten married and have a 2 year old little girl, with a second girl set to arrive anyday now. Looking forward to passing the love of being in the woods down to them, and trying to pick up as much as I can so I hopefully have something worth sharing. I just recently started hunting (deer and turkey so far). Never hunted growing up, but grew an interest out of a desire to have a closer relationship with the food I feed my family, not to mention another good reason to get outside. Dont know many folks in the NJ hunting community, so really hoping to meet some people and find some places, tips, guidance etc to hunt waterfowl, upland birds, bear, and any other opportunity that comes up. Still love to fish as well, but spend more of my time fishing the surf then freshwater. I also try getting out to the range whenever possible, mostly handguns (Ruger SR9 and Springfield Armory 1911) and starting a little skeet here and there. Also love good beer and/or wine, and good food with friends. I've recently been working on learning how to make various kinds of charcuterie with some respectable success, so may be able to contribute some thoughts there. Also a proud member of the NRA and TRCP.
Looking forward to talking with everyone!
Mike
