My dad never hunted so when I was 12 (about 10,000 years ago) my older cousin took me under his wing and I've been hunting ever since. I haven't hunted with him in about 25 years now, so most of the stuff I know today (which is very little) was learned the hard way, on my own.

Consider yourself lucky that you found someone of like mind that is willing to go the extra mile for you Ginny. And thanks for the Christmas sentiment too. The best to you and yours, and everyone else on this forum. Jim
