I started when I was a kid (9 to be exact) and refused to let anyone call for me, or show me the ropes. I was stubborn little cuss.

Took me 9 years (finally killed my first bird on my 18th birthday) to connect with one. 9 years of hard knocks and learning what not to do. I tagged number 30 last spring, the light had to come on some how.

Once you figure it out, it ain't that hard, but it never EVER gets any less exciting! Hang in and learn your lessons well, it will be worth it and it WILL PAY OFF!!!
