Licenses, Tag Applications and the Stairs
Been a busy weekend. Marshall got his bow this last week, so we shot Friday and Saturday morning and worked on the stairs off my back deck. I also got my license purchased and will have tag applications going in this next weekend.

Today
NDOW came out with dates. It looks like my target time will be November 10 - 20, just as the rut kicks in here. Marshall ordered his bow this last week, so we will be able to start shooting next weekend. We're looking at getting together towards the end of the month to put in our tag applications. I am thinking about shooting this afternoon, but the Bristol race is on, I'm still working on my home owner's association's website and I have my youth group tonight. With the light staying out later and later, I might break the bow out after work. I am also contemplating getting with the bow shop here and paper tuning my bow.

Introduction
I've been toying with the idea of doing a hunting blog for a while, and after cruising the forums on bowhunting.com, I decided to just do it. So, here's my first blog.
My name is Tim and I'm getting ready to head into my second season of bowhunting. But, first I'll give you guys a little introduction. I'm 25 years old, father of four boys (Isaac - 5, Lucas - 4, Cameron - 2, and Ethan - 1) and have been married to Sarah for 6 years (it will be 7 in October). I'm a maintenance planner at one of the local gold mines in our Autoclave processing plant. I've been a planner for about six weeks, but have been in the planning department for the last year. I have also served in the Nevada Army National Guard for seven years, including one deployment to Afghanistan.
Now that I've gotten the intro out of the way, let me break down what I'm shooting. I picked up my 2013 Bear Encounter online from Bass Pro Shops last July. I've got a Trophy Ridge Punisher 5-pin sight, Whisker Bisquit Kill Shot rest, an Alpine Bear Claw 5-arrow quiver, an 8" stabilizer, a wrist sling and a kisser button. My release is just a cheap-o from Wal-Mart, but it works, so I'm not in a rush to replace it. My arrows are the Cabela's Carbon Hunters cut to 28", fletched with NAP QuickFletch twisters, and Lumenocks for nocks. I'm currently running the Cabela's Laser Supreme, 125 grain broadheads. I have a block target that I shoot out at my house. I have a flat range that can go out to 90 yards, but the farthest I've shot is 60 yards.
That's all that I've really got for now. I'm sure that I'll think of some others later.
