I have something to say to everyone
 

First I started hunting in kentucky the season after I turned 19. I did not have a bunch of hunting family nor had I been hunting since I was a little kid. Idk why I love for game meat I had gottin as a kid. The outdoors or what I always wanted to hunt since I was a kid like it was wrote in my dna. I knew nothing infact first thing I learnt was scent control from u all. I started hunting in blue jeans and a red tshirt lmao.
Since the day I found this sight iv gained so much infomation from you all. Got so much help from everyone on this sight.
If it wasent for you all id prob still be that kid stomping through the woods in blue jeans and a red shirt.

I just want to say thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your help and advice over the years. Theres so many of you to name specific I wont try. You all have done so much for me and my hunting I can never repay you.
Thanks again
Tim

I call it sharing; you share with me, and I'll share with you.

I have learned a lot here also - Thanks to all of you from me as well !!!

way back when there were some old timers who helped me get started, they're gone now, so I feel the best thing I can do to pay them back is to pay it foreward, helps everyone out and is better for the sport.

For you to take up hunting without much/any local influence takes initiative and says alot about your character. Many great seasons to you. May you also Pass it On.

Old timers
 

Couldn't say it better myself. Hunting is something we old timers should try to pass on.:deer:

Pass it on Bigtim!

I have and try to I got my cousin into it a few of his friend. Back home in indiana it ended up being 4to5 of us that went they were all 16to 20 I felt old .

Ya. I had a bow as a kid always looked at deer as a meal. Bought big game hunter and deer avenger for pc got hooked. It took alot of blood sweat and tears but worth it. My dad and I was talking end world zombie type thing. I said sure its cost me between 10- prob 30 grand but when the world fails ik imma know how to hunt. Two things in my life have been complete happyness complete serinity to me thats hunting and scuba diving. Iv al always been closer to good either in a tree or on the sea bottom

when something rocks me to the very core, I will do whatever it takes to introduce anyone who shows an inkleing of interest that feeling, whether it be shooting, deer hunting, or shark fishing cause folks I'm here to tell ya, there is nothing this ole boy has found to even compare.
RR

Buddy umm well shark fishing we need to expand on this I love fishing and wonna go shark fishing. Do you scuba dive or do you want to. My dads gonna get his instructor cert this winter

The guys that mentored me are all long gone. I used brass for teething rings on my kids, taught them hunting/camping/reloading and general shooting. I try to teach newbie's when I can!
You know, I get as big a kick from mentoring as I do shooting!
I can relate to your story.

never really considered scuba diving, always figured it was to expensive for my budget, oh and once you leave land and are swimming in salt water, your just bait. believe me it takes all the nerve I can muster to throw 10#'s of bloody meat on a hook, drop it in my kayak and plow out through the surf a couple hundred yards and drop it, but its what ya gotta do.
RR

It can be basic certification is bout 450. You can rent ur gear. If you buy it it can cost as low as bout 2k to 20 grand for everything. Its like hunting its expensive if u make it or get into it deep. Between me and my dad id say weve dropped 12,000to15,000 on it

I've always thought I'd enjoy scuba diving. I've done some snorkling, but never diving.

Its truely a blast once you get comfortable breathing underwater its like ur on another plant. And shark attacks with divers is rather pretty rare
