Been hunting since I was old enough to walk and keep up. Grandfather took me grouse hunting every holiday and most weekends as these were the days before there were many deer. He never took a deer but was one of the finest rifle and shotgun wing shooters I had ever seen. I deer hunted several years (with no mentors, it was a struggle) and took my first one at age 18. A huge 3" spike taken in the Cherokee National Forest in Johnson County, TN. I worked 31 1/2 years in law enforcement, retiring in June of 2020. I am enjoying the retired life and ability to get out more often. My youngest is 23 and just started his law enforcement career, but he hits the woods and waters with me as much as possible. He has already taken 30+ whitetails starting with his first one when he was seven. I watched him take several of those until he was old enough to sit by himself. Hope to put many more years in with him. Teach em to hunt and you'll never have to hunt for them….
