Jake's First Deer

My name is Jake Stone.  I am from Newton, Illinois. I have been deer hunting for the past three years now and I have loved every day. I am 18 years old and go to Lakeland College in Mattoon Illinois. For me deer hunting has truly turned from a weekend passion, to an obsession. I killed my first doe last year with a bow and it was one of the most exciting things to happen in my life and can’t wait to have that feeling again. I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to hunt some great bottom ground in Jasper County, Illinois and I am really excited for this up coming season. I shoot a PSE Brute X, carbon express arrows, and rage broad heads. A couple of my great friends Taylor Kerner and A.J. Hyatt have really got me into hunting in the last few years and I am so thankful to them for showing me the ways. When I’m not shooting my bow or handgun stands, I’m usually in the woods doing something. I have had dirt bikes and four wheelers my whole life. I also got started into turkey hunting last year thanks to A.J. I am definitely super excited to be back in the woods this year.  

Jake Stone is my friend on Facebook and a member of Deer Creek Farm where he hunts.  I hope Jake will let me share his next deer kill on my site and wishing him a great deer season. GOODHUNTING Jake!
