My Dad took me to the woods when I was 5 - squirrel and bird hunting. He has always been a deer hunter, but only with rifle. Funny thing is now that I think back, he never hunted bow, nor did anybody I knew. My dad got me one of those red kid' s bows when I was 6. I guess I was hooked on bows because that' s all I wanted when I turned 12 - a bow. Been hunting bow ever since.
