So, I'm tired of having those few weeks at the first of the season where I can't hunt. I think I'm ready to buy a bow. I was measured about 4-5 years ago and they guy said that I had a 31" draw length. Gimme some suggestions on brands. I dont want to spend a ton. I'm pretty stout and I plan to hunt in smaller spots with it.

I dont want to spend a ton. Go to a bunch of shops and shoot a bunch of brands and a bunch of different models from each brand....then go to the classifieds on archery talk and find a used one that probably will have custom strings and very few shots on it for hundreds less than new...buy the best all black accessories you can afford and keep the accessories for ever. You will lose a lot of money selling a bow loaded, because few people want the exact same accessories you picked
If you want to always win, never play anyone better than you!

I was measured about 4-5 years ago and they guy said that I had a 31" draw length. Gimme some suggestions on brands. I dont want to spend a ton. I'm pretty stout and I plan to hunt in smaller spots with it. I would get measured again. In order to be a 31" draw, you would have to have a wing span of 77.5". And unless your knuckles drag the ground, you'd have to be in the neighbourhood of 6' 6" to 6' 7" tall.
