RE: Mentor
First one in my family to hunt??? Got a vegi as an aunt and an animal lover as a mom, sure mom eats meat but she is ignorant to where that meat comes from...regardless as soon as I was old enough bought my own bow and license and started. That being said as a kid my best friend and his dad bowhunted and always let me shoot their practice bows, I knew then that I loved it, in fact I still remember helping them drag an eight point from behind his house. It was him who taught me good shooting ethics, and management...When I got my first deer two years ago it was him who I called..even hung the deer in his barn...so I guess he was a mentor...
I'm lucky now, that my brother has started hunting because of me and I'm seeing my young cousins taking an interest...hopefully I can pass the favor on.
