RE: Ten years...
I honestly need to thank my dad one of these days for introducing me to the sport when he did. I've been tagging along for as long as I can remember. I went on my first archery hunt with him a year before I started hunting. I started turkey hunting when I was nine. I've been shooting a bow (recurve) since I was seven. I've been fishing since I was old enough to use those old push button poles.
As young as I may be, I've got a lot of time accumulated in the outdoors, and the majority of it has been spent with my dad. I owe a lot to him.
