Let me start off by giving you a "Welcome" to the board! Alot of interesting topics, and more interesting people here!
Now, I am 35 years old, and have been hunting in some manner since I was 5. My father bought me a new and different firearm every year since I was born, for every birthday and Christmas, up until I was 16 years of age. Then I was taught how to start buying outdoor gear or needs for myself.(ammo, camo, ect.) Now the "student"(me) takes the "teacher"(my father) hunting every chance I get. I have not hunted many different animals as far as elk, bear, ect., just the ones that pertain to my region here in the midwest. I like to think I know it all, but, I also get sat down on my keister by the critters too.<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle> Message to self;---Nobody knows it all, if they did, it wouldn't be a challenge to hunt anymore. I like helping out a fellow hunter with some answers, but only if I know the answers. Besides that, I will listen to someone elses answer and put it to what ever use if possible. I have been bowhunting for about 15 years, but I am still not what some would say a crack shot. I never stop learning in the outdoors no matter what I am doing, and make it a point to learn some little thing each time.
I love it and wouldn't trade it for the world!!!
Good Luck in all your hunting endeavors!!
P.S.---
Thanks Dad!
