Hi

[444Marlin]

Hi!! My name is Todd and I am swPA. I used to go to WV for deer (Fairmont-Clarksburg area), but I had a bad stroke and I only go behind the house. My girlfriend might move to WV (certified maternity nurse) but she sure yet. If she goes, so do i.

I hunt deer and black bear with a rifle and flintlock. I used to do inline and crossbow, still might tho. I haven't done small game/turkeys for years. I handload my rifles, I have been that for 30 some years. I recently (about 10 years or so) got into cast boolits for deer/bear. I dislike "plastic" rifles, wood and blued steel for this boy.

Welcome aboard, Todd..it looks like you’ve got more seasons behind you than most of us have ahead.

I wish I had that much experience, I have 20 years that I would out of state hunting and 20 years in PA's hunting. I am 53 yo. I had a bad stroke about 13 or so years ago.Now I sit and hunt, I used to be a still hunter. But that's ok, I got tired of dragging deer out!!! 2 or 3 deer every year is about all I need now. Yes, I am a meat hunter. Trophy days are beyond me. Give me nice fat doe and I am happy.

Still getting out there and filling the freezer is what it’s really about, sounds like you’ve adapted well.
