Since i was a kid and i used to go out in my Dads truck , i have hunted in some way , shape or form .
We used to grab the air rifle and a tin of .22 pellets and chuck them in the cab , behind the seat . We used to deliver mine shaft roof supports to quarries and their were rabbits everywhere , my Dad would take a few rabbits and then let me have a go . Its fair to say i was a natural with the air rifle and did not think twice about gutting them , my Dad would open them and i would put my hand in and put the gut and entrails out without batting an eyelid . i got my First OWN air rifle at 13 and used it at every opertunity , i later upgraded to Berretta 303A semi auto shotgun and loved it ..... although i still loved my air rifles . At 17 i read an article in a magazine about Bowhunting in America and was determined from that day , that i would get a bow and go bowhunting in America one day .
Unfortunately it took me 19yrs to get that bow , due to a lengthy relationship and Marraige and 2 beautiful kids ( she said i had to many hobbies and rifles/shotguns .
Now i'm divorsed , see the kids more than before , i have a kickass bow and am coming to America to hunt ELK .
