My name is Evan, I’m a 32 year old father of three boys and I live in the middle of the Willamette Valley. I’m also a Marine Corps veteran. I started hunting pheasants and grouse when I was 8 years old, and then deer and elk when I was 12. I never got into archery hunting. I was able to harvest several does and cows as a teenager, but had to take a break from hunting when I was active duty and then when my wife and I were going to college and taking care of our first boy.
I was finally able to get back into hunting last year and was able to get a cownelk last winter on a special drawing hunt on the Oregon coast, and this fall I was able to harvest my first buck! A very nice, big bodied Blacktail in the Cascade Foothills. I hunted the last two seasons with an AR10 but realized I much prefer a more traditional bolt action, so I now have a Howa Kuiu model that I can’t wait to take out and hopefully get a bull elk this year. I’m looking forward to talking with everyone here and hopefully improving my hunting skills.
