Default RE: How did you get started in hunting?

My Dad and my Brother I guess. The times I can remember going deer hunting was usually with my dad. He started me out around 8 years old going with him on the hunts in the dog clubs. I think I was around 9 or 10 when "Santa" brought me my first gun. It was a mossberg 12 gauge with the accu-choke on the end of the barrel. I can remember my brother (10 years older) taking me squirrel hunting across from our old house. He taught me a few things. The only thing now is I'm hunting without them. They are both still alive but pops has a bad back and doesn't care to chase deer anymore and my brother now has a 12 year old son that doesn't seem to care for hunting. He is into the Boy Scouts, and I can only hope that one day he will ask his uncle Scott to take him hunting. Just wish I could get my dad to go turkey hunting with me one time. I think he would be hooked.
