My dad started taking me hunting and fishing as soon as I could carry a 22 or fishing pole. He hunted everything local and went out west every year big game hunting and several years pheasant hunting. He fished with nets, trotlines and rod and reel. He made sure I was exposed to it all growing up. He taught me to hunt fish and trap anything that swims, walks, or flys locally. He grew up in the Ozark mountains during the depression. He said if they didn't raise it, catch it or kill it. They didn't eat. Hunting and fishing is my entertainment and always has been.
