this spring marks my 10th year hunting...started spring turkey when i was 12...sure seems like yesterday...turning 21 in about a month...graduating college in a year and a few months....i think im ready for the "real world" i was definently ready before this college crap....college has wierd effects on me...still have my work ethics and all that, but its definently an easy life...not working..living off loan money...free to do what i want and hunt and fish when i want if i dont have class or work to do...havent completely changed, just before college, i was working 40-60hrs a week...always been pretty self sufficient...live at home still and all that...but bought my own vehicles...pay my own bills and that...still do...just going to have to work for it later to pay it all back

still remember dropping that first doe with the 308...still remember dropping my first coons out of the tree..still remember the first 2 squirrels i killed with my 22...still remember that first shot i fired at a grouse and watching it fold...tons of memorys....
