My dad never hunted much, so I always loaded and went with however would take me. Sometimes, I went with my cousins, sometimes with one of my uncles. If no one was around, I would strike out on my own. Some thingsI learned from others, some I learned on my own.

As far as being just as good as, that probably holds true for most of the people I have hunted with. But there are a few I will never catch.
