My dad hunts, he is 58, my father in law hunts he is 40-45 somewhere in there, his daughter (my wife) hunts and she is 23, and i am 23.
Been hunting since i was maybe 10-11, would go with my dad and take my bb gun. Dad would take me and let me go with him and I would take my bb gun, never saw any deer because I am sure i was yelling when I thought i was whispering, lol but dad always put up with it.
I am the only one of that group that bow hunts, father in law has tried it and might get back into it.

32...Small game hunted cause shells were cheaper than groceries from 18-21 and than traveled and didn' t have the chance/time/oppurtunity. Finally moved back " home" , bought a beagle and started deer hunting with a bow...this' ll be my third season.

28 and been hunting since before I can remember. My dad would take my brother and I into the woods with him when we were barely walking to sit with him. I have many memories of being wrapped up in a sleeping bag and my dad shooting a deer.
I had twins back in April, Luke & Ashley, and hopefully one day they will want to take part in the great outdoors as I did.

Cardeer and Mike, you ever seen so many young whipper snappers. Most of em ain' t shaving yet. I' m 54, been deer hunting since I was 16, been small game hunting since I could walk. Of course Taz is going to look like he' s 80 by the time his son gets home from Afganistan and I wish him the best.
