Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Your hunting heritage...where did it come from?

Mine comes from my dad.




And it's being passed on to my grandson...






Much of my hunting zeal came from my boyhood buddies, Tommy and Jimmy McDonough. We three decimated all life on Peavine Mountain as kids with our BB guns, then pellet guns. Tommy died years ago when he rolled his truck on way back from grouse hunting; he was my best friend.

His older brother Jim and I still hunt together as often as we can manage.

My mom was a great cook ( I say was, because she's now 92 and has discovered microwaves and frozen feasts). She learned game cooking at a very early age. She was the oldest of seven children growing up on the prairie of NE South Dakota. Her dad market hunted to keep a sod roof over their heads in her early days. What she could do with an old tough goose was amazing.
