Well, its time to change this thing again.
My name is Ben and I have just recently relocated from North Carolina to Washington State. I graduated from Appalachian State University in Boone North Carolina with a degree in Industrial Drafting and Design. My life long goal is to become a wildlife habitat Designer. Right after college I started drawing custom homes until the economy crapped out and I became jobless. Started sending resumes out and one stuck with a company out in Washington. I had a 2 hour phone interview and the next day received an offer letter which gave me 2 weeks to get my shoot packed and moved out west. It was a crazy time but I live for the moments of pressure as well as road trips. So now I am a Nuclear Designer which is pretty sweet.

I miss the South and will be back sometime but for now I will stay here where the money is good! They make planes for visitations, right?

I am a huge outsdoorsman. I spend every second that I can in the woods, or out here its all desert but I still get out. I bow hunt, muzzle load hunt and rifle hunt and I have the opportunity to hunt all three styles on Mule Deer, Whitetail and Elk. Hunting opps are only 2 hours from here so hopefully it works out and I am able to harvest at least one of the three. Also, my passion is Ducks!!!! I love duck hunting and everything about it. It sucks that I am not back home where I had all my honey holes and knew how to hunt Southern waterfowl. Its a whole different ball game out here but I think I can figure it out. They say the basin I am in is the best canada goose spot in the country, we will see about that. I have 2 hunts booked with an outfitter over Thanksgiving and have met some guys here that have offered to take me out to there fields so hopefully it will all work out.

Anyhow, enough about me.

Here is a link to all my pictures from coming across the country and then my adventures once I got here. Take a look and tell me what you think....
