I started in Jan. 1986 with stik. We went to Hickman County. I only got to hunt seriously for the last 3 years. It was sporadic before that due to family obligations. I killed one this season and one last season. I am a deer killing machine, huh?

John, Its hard to beat the Great White Hunter... 
Nah you just have to be old and growup in the swamps of LA. Hunting was what we did cause we didn't have anything on TV but Soupey Sales.
I hunted every afternoon when I got home from school and all day every weekend and every holiday. I left every Friday night as soon as the football game was over I got through with azze chewing. Thanksgiving was spent at the camp in Saline swamp and two weeks at Christmas. I owned six or eight guns by the time I was 15.
Hunting is what I did, often taking precedence over girls. 
I didn't have a computer or a Game Boy. I had a squirrel dog and a shotgun. I grew up watching sunrises and sunsets and how wildlife lived. I asked a million questions of the old swamp rats and most of them took the time to talk to me. They taught me how to read bayou and sloughs and slight ridges and trails through the palmeto and how to cook gumbo and shoot ducks.
I learned about deer and deer habits...as much as we actually knew back then and I learned to find my way out of 40,000 acres of swampp in the dark.
That's just the way I grew up. It was what I wanted. Then I went to college and studied that stuff.
Then I became a killer.
My bad. Right now, there is not a doubt in my mind, I have killed my last animal...except for skunks and possums.

, Haven't heard from any (OLD GUYS) yet. It looks like I'm the oldest yet with a start date of 1965.
