RE: first black bear hunt
Rebel Hog
I grew up and lived on Long Island almost all my life. I moved here to WV 6 years ago and last year my 12 year old daughter asked me if she could go huntung with her soccer club friend. HUH??????.. Neither of us had ever shot a gun. So I just said that we would learn this hunting thing together. That was May of 04. From then until youth day in November we put several thousand rounds through a 22LR, Did research together to choose a gun and caliber that would fit both of us and the terrain (chose the Marlin 30-30). Then put hundreds of rounds through it. On youth day, our first hunt together, she got a doe at 128 yards on public land near the gun range. We are both hooked forever.
