New to Tradgang (kinda!)
« on: June 17, 2011, 02:35:00 PM »
Having done this perhaps the wrong way I wanted to back up and introduce myself the right way.

Recitals:  
 
My name is Keith and I have been lurking around this site for about 8 months.
I am originally from Northern Lower Michigan and have been residing in Alaska for 5 years.
I work in Land Management and oversee over 25,000 square miles on the Kenai Peninsula.
I am 43 years old and have fished and hunted my entire life.
Through a friend up here I have become addicted to the stick and string.  

As we don't have any of the Traditional archery venues like the lower 48 I have utilized this site to learn, buy and sell some of the most beautiful bows created.  

Obviously, the 100 post requirement change by  Admin. in Classifieds allowed me to do that.  So in some ways I feel I back-doored this site and it's members.  So in an attempt to do whats right I would like to say hello and thank you to all of you that have been so gracious with your knowledge and friendships.  I look forward to sharing and learning much, much more.

I have two members from this site already coming up this fall to do a blacktail hunt on Kodiak Island with me and would just say if anyone has any questions about an Alaskan hunt or fishing trip feel free to contact me as a resource.  I'm no longer in the business of fishing and hunting, but I do have nearly twenty years experieince with this state and have guided anglers and transported hunters in the past.

Hehe!  I like Texans... This guy left me a .223 for fox hunting when he left.
 
 
Thanks for the welcomes.  This is a unique place with an uncanny since of respect for the internet. Admin of this site has to be more than a full time job.  Kudos to them...

Thanks again everyone.  Taking off for the weekend on a big negative tide to do some clamming in the morning.  Anyway, this is the reason I'm out of the bush and back to a real job.  His name is Jordan and you should see his awesome anchor point.  Have a great weekend!

Welcome Keith. Since you've become addicted to the "stick and string", you couldn't have found a better place to spend some time.   :campfire:
