[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1445699, member: 5412"] My grandfather had two guns. Both he inherited from his dad. He never shot either. Gave the Win 1890 Hex barrel .22 to my dad, and gave the damascus barreled SXS hardware store gun to me. My dad never shot the Winchester. It sets in my safe as we speak. So, in response to your question, I did not have a mentor to teach me anything about hunting. My family were fishermen. Don't know what planted the seed in my brain, but as a kid loved to read, and was engrossed with the great hunting novels of the day, like the "Call of the Wild, Death in the long grass, etc. Hunting became a passion in high school that has only intensified as the years went along. Trust me, over the years of learning on the fly, there have been zillions of mistakes, and lots of embarassing moments. The hunters coming into the arena these days have wonderful resources with the internet forums like this one, and youtube. That being said, it still breaks down to one hunter in the field against one game animal, one on one. [/QUOTE]
