Re: My son's first deer
Very happy to see mentor hunting. Father son, father daughter, father mother, etc. My dad was never a hunter, it took a couple times going to my cousin's house and him and my uncle not there because they were out hunting, for me to find out what was so keen on hunting. My grandfather hunted when he was younger but now only has a .410 for takeing care of ground hogs. I asked my grandfather one time when we(mom, dad, and myself)were visting, "if I buy you a box of slugs for the .410, can you teach me how to hunt" he said sure. So the following year I was 15, saved money up and bought a 30-30. Got my camo and blaze orange, and went to grandma's and grandpa's for a week durning deer season. Saw many deer but I wasnt 100% comfortable with the gun(flinching). Then saved money for a shotgun, and grandpa and I went turkey hunting, didnt see any, but had some talking to me. When we quit hunting for the day, he looked at me and said I heard some turkey by you but didnt hear shooting, I laughed and said I got some calls and was trying to call them in. We both laughed. So everytime I see my grandfather I always bring up that i'm very thankful that he got me into hunting.
