Introductions

In my excitement for this site being created I seemed to have forgotten to make some introductions. We are definitely hoping to meet lots of new people that share in our passion for the outdoors. My name is Dan Maddox and I am from Chester County, PA. I am 29 years old, married and have 4 year old twins (soon to be 5 in April). I grew up in Central Pennsylvania doing most of my hunting and fishing in Potter County at our family cabin. In my teens I was an avid hunter and fisherman (notice I said avid not successful) and generally just enjoyed being in the outdoors. As life got busier and busier and I started on my career path I seemed to have less and less time to actually get out and do the things I love. When I was 23 I moved from Pennsylvania to Dover, DE where I met my wife. During my 3 years in Delaware I really was only hunting for about 3 days a year during the PA rifle season and fishing was obsolete at this point. At 26 I moved back into Pennsylvania where I am living today and that is when my passion was renewed and I found something I had been missing for some time. I began hunting all of the different seasons and heck I was actually shooting deer. I still have yet to pick back up on the fishing but I am expecting to get there when my kids are a little older. My newest addition to the hunting year is Waterfowl. I have been very fortunate to meet a friend who has been willing to take a rookie along with him the last 2 years and I am loving it! I picked up calling late last year and was able to pretend like it was me that was luring in the birds. Anyway for now I continue practicing on the calls and I am looking forward to getting some shooting in over the summer (because I assure you I need the practice).

I encourage anyone who visits the site to become a member and introduce yourself to the rest of us. I am hoping at a bare minimum this site will give me and others the opportunity to meet folks out there who are enjoying our outdoors.
