Hey Va.Mike, that was a really nice thing you did. I am 47 years old now, but when I was a youngster I wanted to hunt so badly and my Father was a scratch golfer who did not like to get his hands dirty. We had moved to Va. and did not have any family near by. I made friends with a guy whose dad hunted and we would go out and sight in their guns and look for deer sign and hang some stands, but my friends father would never take me to go hunting. My friend ended up a pilot for American Airlines and he does not hunt to this day! It took me a while to learn on my own, but now I hunt with the best of them. If I had met someone like yourself I would have been able to learn so much more quickly and not the "hard way". Anyways, I am sure that young man really appreciates what you did and will remember that the rest of his life. Way to go......Hope you get the big one this year.
