i wouldnt say it changed my life...but it SHAPED it. it made me who i am. without the outdoors in general who knows where id be or what id be doing. i wouldnt be going to school for park and resource management/park law enforcement thats for sure. when i get bored or frustrated or stressed what would i do? i wouldnt head to the woods or to the stream to get away..i dont know where id be or what id be doing...but hunting and the outdoors shape my life making me who i am. and im proud to be who i am and glad i turned out how i did. my father did a good thing when he started taking me hunting and fishing and shooting when i was in diapers...when i rolled my truck driving through a field at night looking for deer he blamed himself. he knows its because of him that nothing can keep me out of the woods. but hes proud of me. i keep my head on straight and enjoy life..
