My wife's Grandad gave me a shotgun with 3 3" mag slugs and told me where to set up. I killed a small 3 point and I was hooked for LIFE.
Bertman has also been a huge influence and hunting partner from that same time period.

My grandfather was a big pheasant and rabbit hunter in his youth in PA, but had pretty much given it up when he moved to VA. He got me into fishing at age 2 or 3 and I was hooked. We went all the time. He would tell me stories about hunting and I always wanted to do it. My dad got me a BB gun when i was 12 and I would shoot just about anything that moved. We moved here when i was 16 and there was plenty of places to go and my dad couldn't hold me back anymore. Took the safety course and started hunting. Been hooked ever since.

My dad. We started off squirrel and rabbit hunting when I was about 5, but he also took me along with him deer hunting starting when I was about 6. We also dove hunted some and fished alot.I carried pellet guns and 22's the whole time I was growing up around the farm and shot about everything that would stop long enough.

That was a blast (Sorry TWRA). We owned fox hounds, and beagles. We hunted just about everything.
