My step dad introduced me to hunting small game when I was a kid, but to say he was really my mentor......Not really. Don't get me wrong, he took me hunting quite often, but as far as learning anything, I'm really self taught. I'm grateful to him though.

My real mentor was a gentlemen name of Darrell. I met Darrell at work about....5 or 6 years ago. He taught me a heck of a lot about the outdoors, and was just a facinating man to talk to. The man wasn't wrapped tight, but you just couldn't help but love him. Anyway, I lost Darrell one day while he and I were fishing but will forever remember the hunting, and life, lessons he taught.
