Thanks again to everyone for the stories and pictures. I had my first hunting license at age 16. I had hunter with my father as long as I can remember. I was ALWAYS the "dog". I shot AT many deer before I got my first on on the ground. My father was the kind of a guy that never shot unless something died. 99% of the time, when he shot, it wasn't legal. Never ever "wasted" a shell on a paper target. He was a depression hunter and killed for food, not sport. Times are somewhat different now, but I still feel that I hunt because I like to eat what I shoot. Thanks again to everyone for posting.
