i did it on my own. i wanted to hunt behind my house because i knew there were deer back there but there isnt much land so i figured if i wanted to hunt back there id have to do it with a bow. this will be my first year hopefully i get one.

Dad took me hunting when i was 12, i shot my 1st partridge and have been hunting ever since, Im 36 now.

Both my parents got me into hunting... my dad got me into bowhunting....

First deer with a rifle at age 9.... Promptly decided to try with a bow, mainly cause I enjoyed shooting and I was physically capable of drawing a legal peak weight by the time I was 10.... My mom would sit in a box blind 100 or more yards away, while I sat in the treestand. Untill I turned 12 and could hunt without direct adult supervision. Hunted a few years untill high school, then being in band and playing sports really put a crimp on my free time... Still shot as much as I could but just never could get out there to hunt. Since I graduated in 2000, I've been more concerned with rent and groceries so I havn't been able to buy new equipment... Luckily My dad and I should be able to go this year. The bug is eatin away at me.

Never did score with a bow, hopefully that will change this year.

My dad did about 25-30 years ago. I mostly target shot and bowfished for carp and gar. I pretty much stopped when I left for college. I just bought a new bow and will bow hunt for the first time in 20 years this fall.

My dad got me into hunting deer with a shotgun, but then i decided to get myself a bow. Greatest decision i ever made. Now my dad wants one.:D

MY dad got me into hunting but I got myself and half of the guys that lived around me at the time into bowhunting.

RE: Who Got You In
 

can't remember, but i do remember that was what i killed my first deer with, when i was 17, with a black mag, bear bow, 50 lb. i've bow hunted ever since.

Ditto. While my dad bought me my first bow when I was 12, EVERYTHING I know about bow shooting and hunting I taught myself. My buddy Brian really kindled the already lit flame though.

RE: Who Got You In
 

i decided to try bowhunting last year after talking with my boss (family friend). and also i wanted more time in the woods. now that i can drive, im hoping to get out at least once a week this year. this is only my second season and i have the itch REALLY bad! now that i am getting into bowhunting, my dad decided that this year he is gonna start bowhunting again. he stopped when i was born. hopefully this year i will tag one with a bow.
