New guy from Arkansas
« on: July 08, 2012, 02:04:58 AM »
Just checking in.  Interesting forum that seems to cover a wide variety of topics.  I was previously an avid hunter (hit the woods with my dad when I was four).  But over the years life, family , career, and other hobbies got in the way. 

I never gave up hunting, just gave less time to it. I re-connecting to my roots now, largely due to my 9 year old grandson I'm raising. He enjoys time spent hunting and fishing with his Papaw and I enjoy the time as well.  In this day and age, traditions and a love of the outdoors is something that needs to be passed down and taught.

Thanks for the welcomes, I figure that I already qualify as an"old fart".  Least wise most days I feel that way!

Welcome to one of my favorite sites.   I have been a a grandparent for a month now too.  I hail from Jonesboro but have lived several places in AR.  You can pm me and I might have hunted in your area.
best wishes
