I started bowhunting when I was probably about 9. My parents thought i was kidding when i told them I was going hunting, but the cottontails probably didn't like it one bit. I've been hunting off and on since then, but seriously have started getting into it the last couple of years... I'm 44, lol. Not many deer to my name, a couple of turkeys, but I have a great time every time I get out.
