I'm 33, been hunting since I was 10 and bowhunting since I was 15. Got my wife into bowhunting this year and am working on my brother, his son (7) and of course my daughter will have a bow in a couple of years (she is 2 now). I got two brother-in-laws (29 & 46)and a sister-in-law (34) into bowhunting last year.

I AM 14 AND WILL TURN 15 SOON AND I HAVE BEEN HUNTING WITH MY PARENTS SINCE I WAS BORN BUT THEN THEY GOT DIVORSED AND I LIVED WITH MY MOM AND SHE DIDNT GO DOWN THERE AS OFTEN ANYMORE. BUT THEN WE STARTED GOING ALOT AND I STARTED HUNTING WHEN I WAS 12 AND I HARVESTED A 10POINTER FOR MY FIRST DEER. IN JUST ABOUT EVERY FAMILY MEMBER THAT I HAVE MET HUNTS. EVEN MY GRANDPARENTS, AND MY ONE ARMED GREAT UNCLE! LOL.
WHENMY GRANDMA AND OTHER OLDER RELATIVES PASS AWAY I WILL INHERIT ALOT OF LAND! YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL.
I ALSO AGREE THAT WE AS HUNTERS SHOULD GET FEMALES AND KIDS INTO HUNTING SO WE CAN KEEP OUR TRADITION ALIVE.

I am 44 and have only been bow hunting 3 years and gun hunting 5 years because my husband doesn't hunt! I've fished my entire life with my 23 year old son, but he never (nor my daughter) showed any interest in hunting. I have no women friends that hunt--I would love to have at least one woman hunting buddy instead of all my husbands friends! Although I love them all--they have been great teachers with much patience and so many tips and techniques to share.
