Nobody in my family hunts at all. My dad got me into fishing at an early age though and I gained a great appreciation for the outdoors. When I was a kid, some of the older kids got into trouble with the law for doing stupid stuff with their bows, and one of their parents gave me their kid's stickbow. I must have been about 9 or 10. I used to tell my parents that I was going hunting, and they thought it was cute. Well, I used to go and nail cottontails, lol. Many years later I finally got into bowhunting on my own.
