Hello All,

New member here. A little about me:

Born and raised in TN, stationed in CA now, father, husband, brother, avid bird, waterfowl, and big game hunter. I'm a 10 year USMC Active Duty MV-22 pilot - getting out this year on a medical retirement/separation (they haven't decided yet) due to a back injury related to flight ops. I discovered OYOA and Fresh Tracks while recovering from back surgery and have been inspired ever since

I have to say that Randy is an inspiration to me. Not only because I've always been a DIY hunter, but because he's inspired me to not let my back trouble (and related disability) hold me back from doing these types of hunts. I doubt I'll be able to do it myself, but at least the fire is there.

I'm planning a DIY antelope hunt in WY this year and maybe more if I'm out of the Corps by then, so that will start my DIY western hunts.

Anyways, I look forward to all this site has to offer.

Welcome aboard Marine. Hope the back problem isn't too debilitating. Always wondered what it might be like to fly a tilt-rotor. Good luck on your antelope venture.

Welcome. MV-22 are some wicked birds... Never got an option to take a ride in one, but was always interested. Semper Fi.
