[QUOTE="Volbuck777, post: 4914098, member: 20960"] Quick story for y’all, I started like most kids. BB guns at birds and then squirrels with dad by 8yo. I killed my first deer ( button buck) when I was 10. It was hard hunting with dad he was old fashioned and was tough on me. I had an old climber ( baker bottom, with some kind of welded top stand with a carpet seat). We’d always get up in twin trees where I was within arms reach but I didn’t know what a safety harness was. We always was setup well before daylight and I stayed cold most all the time especially my feet. Lol. I remember the first time walking to the stand by myself in the dark. It was Pulaski Tennessee I’d imagine every deer in the woods heard me running to my stand and see my white light shining towards every little sound. It was also my first bow kill (75 pd doe). I killed every year and by the time I was 14 I had done harvested with my bow, muzzle, and rifle. 9 different deer one being a 150 plus 11 pt. I think back on it and am glad I was started young, and I’m glad ol dad was tough on me. I believe it made me a better hunter. Don’t think I’ll go the same route with my kids though I’d hate to run them off. Lol. Anyways thought I’d tell a story, by the way I wouldn’t change a thing. [/QUOTE]
