RE: Are we Losing our Young Hunters?
Hunting and I go hand-in-hand. I'm 16 and have been hunting since age 10. I tell my parents every day that I'd rather go fishing or hunting than stay at home and play games on my XBox. The outdoors is just too much of a beautiful and pristine thing to pass up. Other than family, there is nothing in the world I love more than the outdoors. The smell of the crisp air in the morning, the scenery, the experiences, all of it. I love it. I am and will be a hunter until the day I die and I look forward (hopefully) to a long and happy life of many great outdoor experiences. But it is hard living in Chicago because of the so-called "city-boys" who would rather play on the computer or watch TV all day than go outside in real nature and just enjoy it. My grandfathers are outdoorsman, my father is an outdoorsman, I am an outdoorsman and if God blesses me with a boy of my own, he sure as hell will be an outdoorsman too.
