Default RE: Who got you into Bowhunting

my dad had me hunting squirrels at a young age, i was hunting squirrels on my own by the time i was 10. i learned to hunt deer and turkeys from him with a gun. when i was little, i got a bow, but i never really liked it much, too much work i thought. Then the summer before i turned 14, i bought Realtree Monster Bucks 7 or something and saw it and thought it was just amazing how cool bowhunting was. combine that with some extraordinary guys on this site, and i was hooked. i borrowed a pse nova from a cousin, set it up, and taught myself how to shoot. the old member twangg on here and shed33 really helped me through the beginning over the internet,giving me tips and such. the next year i go ta job and saved for a month to buy a Mathews and all the top of the line stuff. For me, it's a way to get away from people, just go out onmy own, scout on my own, just go solo. know that i have my drivers license, i have a ton of freedom and it allows me to do everything on my own-scout, hang stands, kill the deer and gut it, register it, all that by myself. i mean, i still love gun hunting with all my relatives and my dad, but thers nothing like bowhunting in the world. other than the 9 day gun season and iowa shotgun, im not picking up a gun for late season, even though ill be able to go with a rifle from nov. 19 thru jan 3. that's how strong i got it in me.

My uncle got me into it about 7 years ago. Now, with two kids and a bad shoulder, he can never go with me anymore.
