Well my dad never really had much hunting interest, but he loves deer meat!! He and I go fishing together on a regular basis as we are partners on a boat we have on Lake Erie....We almost inseperable at times...lol

This past year i went and bought a new compound bow...right when we were about to leave he asked about a crossbow..He thenbought a crossbow...camo...boots...gloves...mask...ect and wants to try getting one during archery...which is great since now we can go bow hunting together...

I also hunt a big 400acre farm in WV and he always tags along and never had any interest in going out and dropping a deer...now he does all of a sudden. So I told him if he wants to go and hunt this year id buy him a rifle...lol i figure that it can be mine and when we go down there he can use it.

Im thinking of getting either a 243...a 308...or a 7mm08 for him...im kinda torn between the guns to be honest...any thoughts...it will just bee for whitetails...
