Some Introductions

So I guess a few of the newer folks from the Bowhunting forums wanted to know a bit more about me. Wouldn't be the first time I was asked!

Name's Jeremy Anderson. I'm 25, live in Ypsilanti, MI. There's some great forests up here, good places to track, and the UP's just beautiful in the fall. Lake Superior in the fall, God, it's just gotta be seen to be believed. There's a little place called Sugarloaf Mountain you can hike, and you can see all across the forest and the lake. Damn, if that's not living, seeing a sight like that. My dayjob's at an automotive plant, I run metal-punching machinery. We've got hydrojet cutters for the more precise stuff, but I don't operate those. just the sheetmetal cutters. It's nice though, I have a window view, with this little weeping cherry tree out nearby. Small thing, frail and slender. Reminds me almost of a sad woman, but it's gorgeous in the spring when it blossoms.

That's another thing we have a lot of up here. Cherries! Enough that you could choke on 'em.

As you'd guess, I'm really not a huge fan of cherries. More of an apple kind of guy. Speaking of which, you can use apples as deerbait, but I wouldn't really recommend it. Most does won't go for it and most bucks... well, you all know how they get when they rut. Angry buggers, and if you use apples as bait, you'll need to get close. Deer can eat an apple quicker than you'd think; just the other day I saw a little fawn and its mother go across my neighbor's yard, grabbing the fallen apples like they were candy. The little fawn kept on trying to keep up!

Better cut off here, gotta pack for my trip up north and that's a day-long drive! I'll be tired just from going over the bridge, so I probably won't get back to you until a day from now, after I get some early morning hunting in.
