My whole hunting experience changed for the better when my son started. Everything, and I mean everything, the past 9 years has been to see him succesful and growing as a sportsman.
The memories made and people we have met (several on here) have made our outdoor experiences great. JB, Zeb, Tony, and Bill have invested into Luke and Evan.
The downside for me has been the rule changes made (and keep changing) to make it easier and easier for people to shoot something. I am not comfortable with where some hunting is going.
We have had more adventures in the woods than most people have in a lifetime. I am grateful.
