My hunting buddy is my uncle Tony........he is my step-dad's brother. Ya see, my dad died when i was only 8yrs old and i can hardly remember him. When my mother re-married, his brother like to hunt and when i was like 10 he got me into hunting. He said if i got a certain score on my hunters educ. test he would pay for my liscense and tag. When i was 12 he gave me my first shot-gun an 870 rem express, and i use it for everything till this day. We have shared so many great moments in the woods together, and now that i am 25yrs old we spend alot more off time together than we use to, we use to just see each other during the hunting seaason. Now that he is getting older, i listen more to what he says, and i would say he has taught me everything i know about hunting, and he still teaches me things..........he is my true hunting buddy.
