I have been hunting and trapping since I've been able to walk. My father and grandfather would always take me with them if it wasnt to cold for me. I always had a bow to shoot but I wasnt allowed to bow hunt until I satisfied 2 conditions for my father. My dad had an old indian bow set at 50 lbs. Until I could pull it back I wasnt allowed to hunt with a bow. The second condition was I had to be able to shoot 3 in groups at 30 yards. I finally accomplished both feats at the age of 11. Ive been hooked ever since.
