Started out as a farm boy, grew up on my parent dairy farm in upstate NY until I was about 12 years old when we sold our cows. Worked on a local dairy farm throughout highschool though. All the farms from back home are empty now can't make a living milking cows anymore it seems like. Seems like there are only a handful now when there used to be so many, breaks my heart.
Anyways I grew up hunting with my dad, uncles and cousins first on our farm and now on a lease we have. Through high school and college I hunted every chance I got. I went to a local college and lived with my parents so it wasn't too big of a change. After I graduated I moved to Springfield Massachusetts, to go to law school and that has really cut into time spent in the woods. Living in the city sure makes you appreciate living in the country. It was a real culture shock, had to lock my doors at night for the first time in my life.
Despite pursuing a real white collar career, I still feel like I will always be a farm boy though.
