When I was six my grandparents gave me my first air rifle. I was hooked for life on hunting. Hunting anything and everything. Next was my first shotgun from my dad then my first 22 from my grandpa. Its been a great life I don't care if its a deer an elk a bear a moose or the real big stuff. If I am hunting I am happy. Love fishing and camping just as much. Grand that you made it to your way of life as well. Many of the younger guys will never see the kind of hunting us older folks have seen although I hope things go well enough that they do . Wish I could sleep as well as I can hunt. Ain't gonna happen.[:@]
