hi everybody,
my name is john laubach, last name pronouced law-back hence my screen name. i have been checking out the site for a while now and have to say it is one of the nicest i have been on! everyone seems friendly, straight-up and generous about helping others and sharing knowledge. its nice to log in and not have to sort through B>S> to find things worth reading.
i am a 26 year old pipefitter from northern Maryland just below PA, a long way from most of you. i live on a small 20 acre farm and hunt whitetails mostly. i love to fish, and start early spring for panfish, trout and smallies, then move to the chesapeake bay for our trophy striped bass run and finally switch to offshore fishing for tuna, mahi mahi and billfish as much as work and weather allow.
in oct. 2009 i ventured on my first trip out west with 2 friends. we went to newcastle WY on a DIY muley and speedgoat combo. we were fortunate enough to all tag out and i am hooked. the opportunity to chase your quarry on thousands of acres is very different than sitting 20 ft up a tree hoping a trophy buck comes into range!
This fall, i will be in WY once again, but this time on my first backpack hunt. our party of 4 will be heading to the western side on a DIY muley/elk combo and i havnt been this pumped in a long time!
just want to thank everyone who contributes to making this a great site, and takes the time to post gear reviews, videos and info that first timers like myself are relying on to have a safe trip with a chance to be successful!
thanks
john
