[QUOTE="catman529, post: 4011660, member: 9284"] Tough to say. Turkey got me into hunting, first sparked the interest Thanksgiving day 2009 when I chased a flock out of the yard and then started thinking how I could kill, cook and eat one. That led to research and learning some basic hunting laws, calls, techniques etc. Joined this forum the following fall but only deer hunted twice that year, with a friend equally as clueless as myself. I don't know when I got into deer, but it was sometime over the summer of 2010. I do remember playing Deer Hunter 2005 which is more of a simulator than a game. Maybe it was that or maybe just hunting in general, but I got into deer hunting either way. Killed my first turkey spring 2011 and first deer fall 2011. I will never forget the first deer, or even the first couple attempts at deer hunting the year before. But what probably secured the addiction, was bow hunting. That first bow kill...then all the ones after it....the close range foot steps in the leaves, the quiet draw and thwop of the arrow hitting rib cage and then the crashing through the brush. I still hunt with a gun every year and enjoy it, but the bow hunting is the most addictive and rewarding hunt to me. Back in late '09 when I first took interest, it was born out of a pure desire to outsmart those wild critters that were so good at avoiding being caught, and also the desire to eat my own kill, because I've always been the foraging type to harvest things from the wild when they are available. I remember being a little kid excited to find the first ripe blackberry growing on undeveloped lots in my neighborhood. That draw towards finding my own food eventually grew to fishing, and then years later, to hunting. Then it became a lifestyle... Sent from the talk of tap [/QUOTE]
