[QUOTE="dlbleak, post: 2678527, member: 6795"] My dad hunted to put food on the table when I was very young. I remember eating rabbit and squirrel as a kid. When dad got a job that didn't require him to hunt he basically quit.When we were old enough to go shooting with our own guns, dad would tell us to walk the creek after some target practice to look for rabbits. Dad would never come along and opt to wait by the truck til we came back. We always came back empty handed. Fast forward ten years. A college buddy grew up hunting and excitedly said one day that tomorrow was the opening day of goose. He tossed me a hundred bucks and said go find some decoys and we'll go hunting. I knocked the butt feathers out of a goose that day and was hooked from then on. Fast forward another ten years. By the time my son could hunt with me, I was just about burned out. As it turned out, the boy is ate up with it. I have to admit that it was a struggle the first few years because I had just about ruined myself with constant hunting. When he was around fifteen, we didn't see eye to as do many father/son relationships. The one thing we could do was hunt together. He'll soon be twenty three and I am grateful that we had the outdoors and hunting to bring us together. His life may be a different story had he not been faced with the discipline and responsibility that was required to be a safe and ethical hunter. I now enjoy hunting again. My wife and daughter have both taken deer even though they are not quite as ate up with it as the son and I are! [/QUOTE]
