My dad wasnt much of a hunter, had a few guns,but didnt shoot much.
He was the one that got me into guns ,shooting ,and hunting at the age of around 10 . Bought me a Shooters Bible ,and started buying gun magazines for me.
He did do some bird hunting, mostly quail and pheasant. I went with him a couple times after quail, before I was old enough to hunt . He was a really crappy shot ! He said he couldnt shoot a deer, but he loved venison, and was excited whenever I got one .
