About RiverPirate293

I reside in the Pocono Mountains of Pike County, PA. I prefer archery over firearms and have been in the field since I was 8 years old. I am an avid deer/bear hunter and on occassion hunt small game and waterfowl. I spend the off season trolling/snorkeling the Delaware River in search of strip bass, trout and carp.

Interests

Hunting, fishing, camping, canoeing, kayaking and wildlife photography
