[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5208258, member: 20594"] I'm guessing but around 79 my Dad let me take off into the woods near the house after squirrels by myself...he didn't hunt...he worked everyday all day...but he supported and encouraged me to go for it....so I'd sit in my bedroom with field & stream and outdoor life magazine and dream of hunting....had a good friend who's Dad would take us squirrel hunting occasionally.....First deer was 84.... my Dad was out of town working so my mom drove me and my cousin out to my grandfather's land and dropped us off in the dark well before daylight...(please don't refresh me on the regulations... my mom didn't know anything about any game laws....she just knew me and my cousin were driving her crazy to go hunting)....so many things happened that morning but I'll never forget killing my first buck...2½ year old 8pt.... neither my cousin or I had ever killed a deer....much less gutted one...so in my mind I referenced my hunter safety course book that showed the dotted lines where to cut... crazy I know...but we got it done....had to walk 1/2 mile to borrow phone...no cells in those days... Dad got back in from work and came and picked us up in his old 68 pick-up....I'll never forget those early days in the squirrel woods with my dog and my 22....and I'll always remember the 8pt on that cold November morning.
