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.....

Yep, my brother hunted when he was younger. Other than that its just me. Never had anybody take me hunting when I was younger. My family was all about fishing. We went everyday after we got out of the fields.

I'm the first and only in my immediate family. I did get my dad to go a few times before he passed....he had at one point been a turkey hunter 30 years ago before moving on to other interests. However I have gotten a bunch of my cousins interested in hunting.

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

My dad had 2-brothers, neither of them hunted but he did. I have 2-brothers, neither of them hunt but I do. I have 2-sons..one hunts, one does not. We all enjoy fishing.

Not the same problem here... My Dad grew up hunting and still runs coon dogs every week. My sister deer hunts and my brother-in-law runs a big hunting club down in N. FL. I have to say I was lucky to have a dad, that showed me the ropes...
