OK i grow up fishing camping hiking but not hunting non of my family hunted my grandparents did not no one but a few uncles

I talked my parents into buying me a bow for my 13th or 14 birthday
which took alot for my mom to go for it

I but hunting games for the PC everything i could hunting.

But for some reason since i was 10 or 11 i wanted to hunt
Now i head into my 5th year still deer less.
But i can not wait until season roles around

I thins about Deer hunting when i cook when i sleep. Heck i even glass ever field and woods when i am in the car even if i am the one behind the wheel. yes i look into the woods when i drive. Not a good thing to do but i do it.

i think it all started because my dad bought me big game hunter the first one non 3d cabelas game

then i went to there website got a catalog and then my uncle gave us some deer meat

kinda weird when you think of the little things that cause one of the bigest loved in your live

Good for you! I like reading about guys like you, self taught. I hope you get your first this year.

Dude....

You never did say......but you aren't like 35, now, are ya?[&:]

35 is old? To start hunting?

He's 23, read it in a different post. Besides, what difference does it make?

I started deer hunting on my own 10 years ago. First with a muzzle loader and then 4 or 5 years ago, I decided to try bow hunting. I purchased a compound bow on my own, taught myself to shoot and adjust sights, everything. Then after I could hit a tennis ball at 25 yards on a consistent basis, I asked one of the avid bow hunters I know to help me along. He has counselled me and given me tips, but I have always bow hunted on my own. My father never took me hunting, but my grandfather gave me my first firearm. I think about bow hunting every time I see a deer at anytime during the year. After the deer season closes for the year, I even get a little depressed. I have been lucky to live/hunt in Iowa where it's really hard not to see a deer.

Now if you start spooning with them like some other(s) on HNI, then you have a problem!

started bow hunting on y own at 13 the whole family were rifle hunters and now 25 years later only a few still rifle hunt slowly but surely converted them over to archery
