    Roger that. I went to the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville and was a Deputy Sheriff at the Johnson County Sheriff Office. I have a lot of family in Arkansas.

    Welcome NatRat.
    I'm in North Little Rock and I hunt North of Clinton AR. in the Botkinburg area. I also hunt and fish the lake Nimrod area to your South.
    My goal in life is to be the kind of person my dog thinks I'am.

    Howdy from the Hoosier state, I have a similar background as yours. I have been a farmhand for the past 4 years and was going to Purdue University for MET but have since transferred to Vincennes University for Precision Machining.
