I used to dread coming up with something to say to introduce myself as a new member to the site. Know whatI mean? After composing the following mini bio, all I do now is copy and paste. Oh, I’ll make a change here and there to keep all you folk current. I’m a sweetheart that way. LOL Okay, here I go again�?/P>

Hi all �?/P>

A little about me: I am Rob. A resident of the Rochester NY area, I have hunted for over forty years since my teens and have fished even before that. Now a retired accountant, I have a lot of time available to pursue my interests and to locate all those hunting and fishing buddies I haven’t met as yet. I prefer to be outdoors with others. Call me, I’m ready to go. Barb says it’s okay, really.

A minor inconvenience (I am mobile with my cane, walker, scooter or ATV) of a disability has since slowed me down but hasn’t stopped my passion for the outdoors. I had limited my hunting to deer and turkey and now have included waterfowl as they all can be done from my blind or other cover. I would like to hunt black bear again and try my hand at feral pigs or boar someday. I will hunt with a rifle, shotgun, bow, or muzzleloader.

I fish too. A while back, I had fished bass tournaments with two local clubs; now I just enjoy whatever is biting. As of last year, I am without a boat. I’d rather fish in a boat than from shore so if you want company in yours sometime, call me. Some of my other interests include ATV riding, playing cards, cooking, shooting pool, and workshop projects.

Let’s see, what else? Not a stranger to opening my mouth and adding my $.02 worth to a discussion. Kinda set in my ways. Spent some time cutting, pasting, and deleting (for you computer savvy people) pieces of me until I found a person I can live with while looking in a mirror. Here I am. Whether you like or dislike me it's okay. I'm not changing.

After putting this amount of time in writing my bio here, I am expecting some "welcome aboards" or "howdys" or even "what an ass" from you readers. Don't be shy now.

Rob
