Do my kids count? My son is my little hunting buddy. He got his first squirrel at 6 years old and shot his first buck and an exotic ram at 7 years old. He is in it for the long haul, now.
My daughter, who is 6 now, does not hunt. But she does go out with me every time we set or retrieve trail cameras.
I mentored a few adults several years back. These were friends who didn't hunt, but always thought it would be fun. 3 of them ended up in our hunting club. Two of them rarely show anymore due to work and family obligations. But one of them is there every year. As well as for work weekends.
