I grew up in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, PA. Going one direction I could be on a farm within 10 minutes of my house, going the other I could be in some nasty urban setting nobody would want to be in. Fortunately for me I seemed to find myself heading toward the farms more often than heading toward the city. My grandpap got me initially involved in the outdoors as he would always take us grandkids fishing. My dad was much more of an avid hunter when I was younger than he is now or even when my younger brother was growing up. He would take me out hunting with him when I was old enough and I was hooked. Since then I've hunted in central PA while in college, the southeast when I lived in Florida, and now I reside in the suburbs of Philly. I still find myself heading away from the city more often than toward it, and I still don't see that as a bad thing.
