I am the only hunter period in my family. Works well, the thousands of acres my family owns in Miss is hunted by me, and only me because of their lack of hunting desire. Fine with me

I'm the only one that hunts in the immediate family. My brother-in-law was kind enough to show me the ropes, so to speak. This was my third season.

I am the only deer hunter in my family. Some family members did hunt other things, mind you.

My father never deer hunted. My brother never did either. None of my first cousins nor their parents (my aunts or uncles)have ever deer hunted, to my knowledge.

I do have a brother-in-law that has deer hunted and killed one every nice buck way back in the day. He's since slowed down quite a bit and since my sister keeps him pretty much chained down, well you know the rest of that story.

My wife's father used to deer hunt in Pennsylvania, but neither of his son's hunt at all...

I guess you could say that if the world went to H*ll and we needed to fend for ourselves for meat, then everyone would come see me ......haha.

Did anyone else come from such meager "deer hunting" roots or did most of you grow up in a "deer hunting" family?

Discuss if you want.....

BH

yep same here. I'm the only one in the family that deer hunts.

My father's only professed hunting experience was riding on the hood of a 55 Chevy at night through orange groves with a 22rifle waiting for rabbits to run in front of the headlights. I've heard him tell it a thousand times.

After demonstrating some talent around a bird feeder, I was taken in by a next door neighbor as an apprentice at age 14 to be his doe assassin.
