64 right now. Started hunting alone when I was a kid, about 8.... although the legal hunting age was 14. I grew up in the woods and we did it as kids because kids just like that stuff. We hunted, fished, trapped and all that all through school. A poor family of 7 needed the food. EVERYTHING was eaten. The skills of sneak and peak and fast shooting at roughed grouse served me well when I got to Vietnam. They saved my life probably and that of some of my people. In later years hunting has again provided tasty meals and saved my life. If I didn't hunt I'd have long ago gone insane.(no smartazzzz comments on that one) It gives me peace and joy. I don't care if it's an exhaustive hunt or a plop and park hunt. All is well in the woods.
