My father fished and did a little bird hunting. We never hunted big game. I got a .22 from my Dad when I was in Kindergarten. We lived in a small eastern Colorado town and I spent a lot of time shooting "stuff" like cans and jackrabbits.

I started out bird hunting seriously in my early twenties and it expanded into big game a couple of years later. My son went with me for a few years but he doesn't hunt anymore.
