My family hunted but upland game was their passion. Deer, eh, yeah, my dad would buy a tag and sometimes he'd even go. laugh

I began chasing deer in my youth with a bow because back then you couldn't rifle deer hunt until you were 14 years old. So the books I had and read over and over as a preteen were by Fred Bear and Chuck Adams. Later I read about Larry Benoit's exploits and dreamed of tracking big bucks in the snowy woods of the north.
