I'm 44 years old started hunting when I was 12 years old..tagged along with my Dad even younger that that..Pretty much have always been involved in hunting my Dad was an avid bowhunter in the 70's when I was just a kid..grew up hanging with him and his buddies shooting bow's all the time..by age 12 I had a Bear Recurve and walked the railroad tracks in the evening before dark shooting rabbits..I was harvesting rabbits with a recurve at 12 pretty consistently...When I got a few years older I got Dad's hand me down Bear Whitetail compound bow..those were Cadillac's on the 70's...lol.. So I guess I've been hunting 32 years.

17 years. I sat on a downfall with my brothers 870 smooth bore. I was playing with my new cheapo bino's I got for a graduation present when a 9 pt snuck up and turned broadside. That is when a fever turned into a hunting passion.

Tagged along with my dad when I was ten and still remember staying up till about 330 that morning I was so excited. Carried my own 870 20 gauge when I was 12. I will be 36 next week so 24 seasons. Actually killed my first deer with about a 4 inch to long of a draw pse bow at 15 and followed it up with a six pt the next day. Dad said first was a fluke. Guess not. 24 yrs and counting.

This is year 25 for whitetail, probably 10 years going rabbit hunting prior to deer. I got heavy into waterfowl hunting for about 8 years and deer got just enough of my attention to stuff one in the freezer and hit the State Park hunts. I used to own a suburban that was a 2 seater because the back seat had deer gear and the back was all decoys and waders.
This is year 21 that I've been involved in the deer regulation change and management game.
I am now 1 month into my 13th year of teaching hunter ed.
I believe I've made full circle from hunting being fun, to hunting keeping a young family from going hungry, to just enjoying the outdoors and helping teach others about the wonderful critters we all cherish.
