My father. When we go hunting it doesn't matter what and how big it is, he always lets me shoot it. We went duck hunting. We needed a follow up shot. He let me take it. If we would run across a 12 point buck, he would let me take it.

RE: Who's your mentor?
My Dad is one of my mentors, he started me fishing and hunting and introduced me to the outdoors, he has explained many things through the years, what is good and what is not, he has taken me many places, for deer and all sorts of game!
And then my late Grandpa, he gave me my first BB Gun, he loved fishing, did not hunt much, but he did Rabbit Hunt, with my great uncle, he loved to fish for some good ole bass! I wish he was still here so I could fish with him more, but my dad will do!
And myself, I always try and tell myself not to give up, I shot a buck earlier this year and wounded it, making me feel horrible, because of the bad shot, it almost stopped me from hunting because I did not want to do it again, but I pursued my goal of harvesting a big buck, and did on Nov.13th! It was worth all the trouble I went through!

As far as bowhunting- I would have to say first and foremost it would have to be the folks who occupy this web site !
Second and not by the least whatsoever it would have to be 5shot. I met him on this site a few yrs back when I first took up bow hunting and then found out he only lives a couple hrs. away from me in Virginia- I live in West Virginia. After several trips over to see him , his wife Kim and his young son Matt over the past couple years I consider him a good friend and trust his advice- he has taught me quite a bit about setting up bows and archery in general.

My dad LBH, just like I am for my son, Joe, who just turned 18 today. Had him late in life cause I was too busy hunting wild boar in Sardinia, Italy. Fact is, that's where my boy was born. It was a little mountain-top village in the hill country. Wow! What a day. I remember it like it was just yesterday.
