awesome. my dad about quit as well. uptill i was 16 we hunted ALL the time. every waking minute we could. he would stay up after working the graveyard shift to go hunting. since i turned 16, i started working, now going to college. our schedules didnt match, i started driving..id go out alone and tag my game when i could. dad has only been deerhunting the first day of the rifle season since i turned 16.

hes pretty busy with 2 jobs and all that...but he was before as well. now that i killed my buck, im going to egg him on to go squirrel hunting with me if we get time(theres that time thing again! we are moving here REALLLLL quick) and i found buck rubs in the backyard of the new house. he said hes hanging a ladder stand back there. i hope he does. i wont touch those woods if he does. i would REALLY like to get him into shooting a bow again. he will come out all the time and watch me shoot..but yearrrrrrs ago he put his bow down and quit shooting and hunting. he says hed like a recurve or a longbow...says "it would be fun to shoot" so maybe...we will see.
