My father started letting me tag along when i was not even 3 years old...i remember sitting in a duck blind with him and a few of his friends loving everyminute of it...he took me bird hunting every saturday of the season before i could cary a gun and now i just love the outdoors...we hunt all fall and winter and fish all spring and summer...just cant get enough of it no matter what....im hooked for life..i hjave a younger brothewr who comes along and he has shot some pheasnat n ducks/geese but hasnt gotten a deer yet..he likes it but not to the extent that i do...i bet that once he shoots his first buck his feeling mught change a bit..lol
