RE: How did you get started
My dad started me out fishing when i wasnt even two years old. we got my first bluegill on video somewhere. it started from there. i fished a little more each year, then he started me on bushytails. i got one the first time out. i was 9 or 10. we got a four wheeler when i was 11 and he let me drive it behind the house by myself and let me hunt squirrels alone. i used a little Winchester model 67 single shot bolt acttionthat he used when he first started. i came along hunting deer when i was 10 or so. i walked drives. at age 12, i finally got to hunt deer and turkeys. got a nice tom that fall, and then followed up with a buck and two does. he's never pressed hunting on me like some parents do with their kids. i've expanded on what he has taught me, picking up ducking hunting, predator hunting, and i taught myself all the skills needed for bowhunting. Hunting has always been in our family. his dad hunted during the depression to put meat on the table. his parents hunted, their parents were from Norway, so i dunno if they hunted over there or not. either way,my dad got me into the outdoors and i've expanded off it.
