I was reflecting to my wife last night about how my Uncle introduced me to hunting shortly after my father passed away some 20 years ago. I was 15yrs old when that fall he asked me if I would like to buy his old bow (never made me pay for it) and start bow hunting with him and my cousin (who is about 10 years older than me). Now 20 years later I am hooked, love everything about it, but more than anything I really love the campfires and story telling after a days hunt.
How did you guys and gals get your start?
My Uncle was a well known Quail and Dove hunter in West Central Fl andhad no children.I was like a son to him and my father srarted to let me go with him when I was 8yrs old. Well, we had many good years in the field with the dogs and I learned from him about breeding dogs and their care. He thought me to be aShotgunner and shoot as good as him. He passed in 1984, but I have all the memories.
