My maternal grandfather hunted alot, but he never took me and really his health was too bad by the time I was old enough anyways.

My parents didn't hunt at all. I started bowhunting when I was 14 on my own basically. I used a bow because they wouldn't let me have a gun.

I grew up wanting to hunt, just had to wait until I was old enough to make my own opportunities and learn on my own.

As a kid I would have traded the next 10 Christmas mornings to be taken on a hunt.
